Why did they trust the Duke? I find it so weird. I can understand them not getting along with the rest of the imperial family but I just can't seem to understand where this trust on Riolu and the Duke seems to stem from? What if he was just lying about himself? I find a bit hard to continue reading this manga and yet, I'm a bit curious.

that grandmother is ridiculous. I don't like her at all -.-
Also, I sincerely wished I wouldn't see that bish ice-shit, do we have to see him again? Sis made a mistake, she should've buried him in ice that night 12/13 years ago and just take his castle for herself. I couldn't even sleep properly because I was so annoyed at that pipe-hole. lol.

At this point, this is just getting more and more frustrating. At first, I liked Nika but then now I'm like, if only you had stayed away -.- but then again it wouldn't have made any difference I think.
Add to it, somehow, it feels like she's the only one left out of the loop, of everything that's happening. They don't (or don't want to) tell her anything and yet they approach her constantly, disturbing her peace. Like, GET OUT OR I'LL SLAP YOU WITH A BREAD! is how frustrated I am.
I'm a bit angry. I want to say this is what you get for trusting people you shouldn't but I won't because they're still kids. I get that they're angry at the royal family and rightly so, but are they seriously just going to ignore even the second prince who got so exhausted because of them? That's on another level.
Second of all, seriously, why are they so freaking attached to Riolu? It's like they imprinted on him or something. This is probably one of the few (very few) times I've felt detached from the MCs and I usually have a bias towards MCs. Tsk, tsk.
This is my problem with it. Ok, yeah, they're kids and they where abused and they have trust issues. Got it. You can basically argue away every dumb decision they make with "they have trust issues", which is fine. But it starts to fall apart when you look at all the dumb decisions they made at the same time and realize the reasons they made each one kinda contradict one another. It just starts to feel less like scared kids making dumb decisions on faulty reasoning and more like the author having them trust or distrust people based on what will cause the most drama...
