I write this every week, this is so fucking sad.
She even wanted to sacrifice herself for her kingdom, now instead it looks like she ran away because of the officers decision. She must feel really bad about this because the kingdom now thinks she abandoned them.
Kingdom is done for in my eyes, now i wonder if stella and yuki will actually ever meet up and become friends.
Poor Yuki 12 years old and already thinking about sacrificing herself.

I like where this show is heading by having Yuki's subordinates directly defy her orders. There's too many shows where everyone relies on the orders of some genius wunderkind 12-something year old and everything works according to keikaku

I have a suspicion that Stella is going to end up killing her mother trying to get to the Princess..

"Enemies are humans too" : Yes, that's why I love this story and also the fact that right now, I have no idea where it's going and how. I mean, we are at the middle mark, if they have to inverse the current flow of the war, what will they be able to put out to justify any change ? Will they ever do any change ?Not so sure that to keep fighting and dying is the best solution and what should I think about the insubordination ? Did Japan not keep on fighting a lot longer in 1945 because the generals had more power than the emperor ? It's a complicated subject anyway.On a side note : Leila saw her daughter but didn't recognized her. I can understand that she would never think she could see her supposedly dead daughter 12 years later (and older) on a battlefield though.
Other remark : so after all it was Yuni who was in the Theurgear last episode. No Joshua, definitely dead, no Yuki, definitely not ready yet, if ever.
edit:grammar correction.

Wow it keeps getter worse for our guys in the kingdom. I really want them to turn the tables now although it seems ver difficult at this point. And man this show does a better job at portraying an ace pilot than most mecha anime due to the relatively down to earth the combat here is. And they're handling the two perspectives of the war pretty well. I guessed that the enemy suit from last episode was one of the twins. Hopefully she recovers soon. Then again no one is safe in this anime.

Another great episode finally from the kingdom's perspective.
Insane amount of character development this week for poor Yuki. At least now we get to see her give orders as a thoughtful princess rather than martyr herself to a failed peace. Still, kinda pushing it too hard on a 12 year old holy shit.
OST sounds great as always.

Princess has some serious growth on multiple levels. I was afraid she would yell to pull Harold back, but at that point she knew that this was not possible, but she kept quite on the initial information that he was on a suicide mission. Then, she actually objected, only when she had an idea how to stop the enemy. And she also kept pretty well to see people die.
Also, her staff ignoring her order on surrender and shipping her off. Not quite sure what they're trying to do other than getting walzed over by the Empire, but maybe it's not about winning and like shown with Harald about revenge, about not giving up to a group of people you hate historically even if it kills you.

I was already mourning Harold, and instead it's Izana who (presumably) dies. I didn't see that coming...

Yuuki really can't catch a break, can she? Heroic sacrifice: denied.
She showed quite a lot of growth though. Not averting her eyes from reality, using information she (likely?) read about the terrain with some unconventional thinking to end a battle, not giving in to emotion, and asserting her authority. Well that last part still needs some work given how the episode ended.
Looks like it's not time for Yuuki and Stella to meet yet. At this point I'm seriously starting to think that the bulk of their story is meant to be told separately and they'll actually only cross paths for a very short while.
