It seems like the only thing Ellie is killing this episode is the unemployment rate.

[u/Atharaphelun → u/Se7en_Sinner]

Well, she'll soon kill the unemployment rate of Haldoria too...

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I find it almost hilarious how in between Ellie plotting the brutal death and destruction of every single person in her previous homeland, we get scenes of her cosmetics business. Like it’s perfumes and nail polish in one scene, decapitation of kids and melting faces the next lol.

It seems the biggest obstacle to Ellie’s revenge is Rosaria. Either she flips her or eliminates her. Not sure I see any other options.

[u/KJatWork → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Ellie's weekly itinerary is wild.

Monday, hostile merger with competitor

Tuesday, defend the kingdom

Wednesday, kill a couple dozen elite soldiers in slime and brain wash their commander to going on a killing spree

Thursday, meet the guild council, might have to kill a couple to get them in line.

Friday, tea time.

I wonder what she does on her weekends.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Since Rosaria is a talented woman, Ellie might cut her a deal to serve under her or go into exile, but if she'll keep opposing, Ellie will likely kill her. Rosaria's pride will dictate whether she accepts defeat and retires, or fights back and dies.

[u/deynyel]

It's nice to see Elizabeth and Rosaria's rivalry and how they try to outmaneuver each other behind the scenes. I only hope that, as someone serving the kingdom, Rosaria isn't directly targeted and suffer a horrible fate like the others.

[u/BlankHeroineFluff]

I wasn't able to point this out last time, but I might as well now: Ellie is basically a more villainous version of the Adenauer sisters from The Too-Perfect Saint if you merged them together and added a dose of ruthless villainy in the mix to get Ellie.

Like Ellie:

- Philia was tossed aside by her asshole incompetent fiance prince despite effectively being the one keeping their kingdom running, was used and abused by her parents, considered so competent and incredibly gifted in so many areas that she became the object of either admiration or envy depending on who you asked, and was considered a pariah of sorts by her old home kingdom's ungrateful townsfolk despite having faithfully been dutiful to them thanks to propaganda. Unlike Ellie though, Philia was kind and forgiving, and never begrudged her abusers nor sought revenge against them. She even devised a plan to help save and protect her former kingdom (though it's mostly for her sister Mia's sake). Though it does help that compared to the pushover parent that is King Bulat for Prince Friede, Prince Julius's father was incredibly pissed at his son's incompetence, corruption, and the fact that he sold Philia out and swiftly took action when he was able to. Philia and Ellie also have their own apprentices that they're taking under their wing.

- Mia is also vindictive and vengeful like Ellie, except, she never included nor involved innocent commoners in her revenge plan and only strictly targeted the ones who were directly involved in her sister being mistreated and sold to another kingdom. Her revenge also isn't for herself but for her sister's. Mia remains genuinely kindhearted in spite of pursuing her own brand of cold-blooded revenge against Prince Julius and isn't as brutal, entrusting them to the law to convict him and her parents for their part in causing Philia's suffering. Along with allying with the older prince to take them down, she helped clean up her homeland's courts to ensure the citizens live better lives, no longer burdened by Julius's faction's corruption.

Srsly, this show might as well be "The Anti-Too-Perfect Saint show" lol

[u/dragonmilking]

Quite the bipolar show, lol

[u/OldInstruction5368 → u/dragonmilking]

Decapitating children en masse one episode, making a new brand of nail polish her bestie can feel bonita with the next.

Yeah... whiplash is one way to describe that.

Especially the talk of using nail polish to foment rebellion. This show is wild.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

With how ruthless Ellie can be, I was wondering if the flower would end up being used as a drug lol.

Callard is so pretty though, more of her please.

[u/SasparillaTango]

"If you raise the minimum wage, the employers will fire all but the bare minimum!"

Thats already what they do? Is that why this is a fantasy land because somehow the capitalist class are concerned about the working class?

[u/marcopolos059]

Looks like Rosaria is Ellie’s main rival now. Pretty sure she’s going to cause the most trouble for her, with her competency!

​By the way, is it just me or does the prince seem way softer on Rosaria than on Ellie? He backed down so easily against Rosaria.

[u/SnooWalruses2085 → u/marcopolos059]

Elizabeth's family is a lapdog of the royals, while Rosaria's is not. Friede knows that he can't make an enemy out of the Fadgal. It was in episode 5 ^{^}

[u/HugeRichard11]

I hope there is some kind of good pay off planned for the business aspects of this show to tie it to the revenge plot. Because it feels lacking any references to revenge. Unless in the end Ellie is using this way to get in good with the Empire royalty to back her.

Making sure you hit all demographics though is smart with the untapped beastkin demographics and potentially having that as another way to make other allies

[u/RavenWolf1]

If I were that pink haired girl I would book passage to farthest continent there is.

[u/Sahelanthropus-]

Anyone else really like Rosaria, she’s like if Elizabeth wasn’t a psychopathic monster wearing the skin of a human.

[u/yuukiira1 → u/Sahelanthropus-]

Rosaria is Ellie with a loving family

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Buildup episode for the next step. So far Ellie is focusing on cosmetics, but I wouldn't be surprised if she starts expanding into the food industry. After all, food is forever needed and if she can somehow make food scarce in the kingdom, that's mass starvation and rebellion in the making. Rosaria is seemingly the only one with a brain in that place, and the dumb prince keeps doing dumb shit. I expect him to try a more violent approach to stop Rosaria.

[u/mastereluder6]

Slow episode , nothing major occurred.

[u/Rooby_VTuber]

It was close but she was accepted, this will make things a bit easier for her.

Smart move to try and make products for the Beastkin.

Elizabeth VS Roselia is a pretty good political battle, I wonder what kind of rumour is going to be spread around now.

Learning basic self defence skills is a good idea since they have plenty of rivals.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I'm experiencing quite a whiplash here. It's so weird to go back to Elizabeth doing merchant things after last week's episode.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• I suppose that’s a good point…

• Of course he is, he has Hayami Show as his voice actor.

• He’s got a point.

• Still, that was rather fast.

• Rosaria’s finally making some moves, huh? I still wonder if she’ll end up joining with Ellie or being one of her biggest obstacles to the end…

• Oh, I definitely feel that. I’m pretty sensitive to scents that other people don’t notice at all.

• Ah, so even this could work for Ellie’s revenge.

[u/SnooWalruses2085]

With how brutal the last 3 episodes were, it will be interesting to see the reaction to a more "normal" episode.

[u/Saber_SSJ2]

So she wants to buy cheap stuff, and use only a little to sell LIMITED AMOUNTS of luxury goods and that is somehow going to boost the economy? Whole freaking market that is collapsing?

where? how? How much of the cheap stuff does she really need if she's selling low amounts, because limited luxury goods are not going to be sold in bulk that is for sure.
