Yo....
I'm effin scared of what that glint in her eye can mean
She was friggin twisted in the first life (the problems of overzealousness and.... excessive religiosity..... didn't the father explain anything.....?)
Also.... it's like she became a plaything of the god's the 3rd time around :S
But I betcha there's some unreliable narration and extreme biased perspective going too...... so we don't know the whole truth just yet

Kinda wish it was a bit longer tho.... then again, i also really like how u hafta read between the lines to really get it
Also,
It's him isn't it? The pilgrim of their age?
Wonder if he's a "human" fae who's reborn every few centuries & they grow weaker each time due to the advancement of technology (maybe he's the last)
I betcha his earring was also a remnant of a dear friend (maybe his mother?) w/c he crystallised out of love (like what the he mentioned in ch20)......
Maybe someday he'll crystalise Jilet too~

Oohhh~ I like how this adaptation is expounding on the details of the novel~ (maybe 'coz the plot progression and nuances stays the same..... regardless)
Like, I don't remember this man flitting with Edith in the novel~ (or was he there....? And I just forgot....?)

Spoiler
There's a scene like that in the novel too! After successfully pushing Clara away a guy accost her and he is from her father side...
The artist seems to make the guys more handsome tho that what the author of the novel describes them (the guy obsessed with Edith in previous chapter and this one if I remember correctly).
The Duchess intervene after seeing Edith pushing away this ill mannered guy!
Just finished binging!
- didya notice that two of the nobles that worked against Uncle Will looked like the fathers of the friends-turned-cult-members and were suspicious & distrustful of Alicia as a kid? (Rectangle glasses dude in particular)
- I wonder if it's the trope where MC's soul was supposed to go to the heroine's body but went to Alicia instead due to her fervent wish? Or that she was called to Alicia's body 'coz Liz's over-naivety or suspicious charm brought harm to the world~
