FL: Oh god I made things worse for original FL I have to do something
Original FL: You should sell the FL into slavery. Won’t you get more money that way?
FL: ….upon further consideration I think brother was right. This is a personal matter. Bye bitch!
Talk about childish. I’m not talking to you until you use my name. Of course, when kids do this they usually don’t want you to use their actual name, but the “new name” they’ve decided they should have.
Haaaa… fine Cinderella how was your day?
Oh I thought he was made because of the brother thing
It’s not that he isn’t upset about that, but he isn’t doing the silent treatment for that. Why wait over a day after that happened then? However, he’s been very instant on the name which is what makes me think that is the case, but I guess I could be wrong
We have a kaiju girl, a middle age woman who looks to be in her 20s, a gorilla that can blend in with a bit of makeup, and now a six foot tall elementary student. Normal Biology just doesn’t seem to apply to anyone in this manga
I hope Mrs. Saint calls her out on it. I hate how in these stories the conversation usually goes as follows
Gossip girl: O la la. Who’s this guy who stayed the night at your place?
FL: No! It’s by younger brother. No wait younger cousin.
Gossip girl: You always said you don’t have any family
FL; He’s twice removed
Gossip girl: Well that totally checks out nothing to gossip about here despite it being basically my only character trait
ML: Wtf I’m not your cousin
FL elbows him in the ribs: What he means is it’s been so long since we caught up it doesn’t even feel like we’re family
FL whispering to ML half desperate Hal demanding: Play along
ML obviously reluctantly: Yes I’m her cousin two times removed. As a matter of fact it might even be three
FL stomps on ML foot
Gossip Girl: Still completely convinced. Bye!
Much later during the wedding with nobles and the townspeople FL knew
Random Party Goer 36: Oh FL is so pretty in her wedding dress. They look so good together
Gossip girl: I totally agree. But…
Gossip girl leaning in conspiratorially and whispering: did you know there actually cousins
Announcer: Duke Creniox has arrived!
ML: Looks at guest list then leaves
Announcer: Ah… Duke Creniox has left?
Everyone there: Wtf
Bitchy Princess rage boiling up inside: And I would have gotten away with it two if it weren’t for that meddling cunt!
As an aside now that FL has gotten the ladies it looks like ML just looked up all the guys who were coming and is about to grab them. My only question is does he have a trick or something to bribe them or is he just going to straight up threaten them
ML: What!? FL is getting married!! Investigate the Spiel’s and find me a reason to KILL! THEM! ALL!
Secretary: Okayyyy. On what grounds? We can’t just investigate them for no reason
ML: Because I said so
Secretary: that’s not really a re-
ML: I AM THE LAW!!!
Sometime later FL’s potential fiancé is chained naked upside down in the dungeon as ML unrolls a mat filled with various various torture tools on a table in front of him: Oh my god! Please have mercy! I don’t even know what I did! Was I short on my taxes? I swear it was just an oversight I’ll even pay triple!
ML picks up a scalpel and examines it as he says: You littered.
Potential Fiancé: ….I littered?
ML: We take littering VERY seriously here in the Empire
Potential Fiancé: I assure you this is unnecessary I will pay the fine
ML: Don’t be stupid I think we both know that’s just an excuse
Potential Fiancé: Then why am I here?
ML: You proposed to the FL
Potential Fiancé: Wa… was I not allowed to do that?
ML: Cut off his dick
Black Hooded executioner: Yes Sire
Potential Fiancé: NO! NOOO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometime after that
FL’s parents to the FL lead: We are so sorry honey. For some reason the Spiels rescinded their proposal, but don’t worry. We’ve already talked with the Haradias and gotten a proposal from their son for you
ML upon learning this: Find me a reason to kill all the HAradias
Secretary: But-
ML: I AM THE LAW!!!
This made me cackle
I was reminded of Sylvester Stallone when the emperor says "I AM THE LAW"
Everyone is down on Original FL, but we haven’t seen how this is going to play out. I think it is pretty apparent she is trying to get slaver to let go so she can make a break for it. The real question is will she try to circle back around after grabbing a weapon or something or is she just going to leave FL high and dry
