If he tries to get along with them he will be stepped all over, they will make him apologize (for nothing) and humiliate him in every way possible before eventually stabbing him in the back...again

aside from the spear hero, the other heroes are actually a little bit sensible, especially the sword hero (ren), although they are all prone to the deception of the kingdom. i think the point of the philorial queen is that if firo ends up being worthy in her eyes, then that proves that the shield hero is a sensible hero, and thus further proving that he has the power to fight back the other heroes and snap them back to uniting against the wave. at least that's what i'd like to believe.

meh, Fitoria just wants to retire and give all the troublesome work to firo
I'm totally lost...does he like him or not? why does he have to let him go? and so many other questions that i cant think of
He does. You know the saying, "If you love something, let it go?". Well in this case, Kunimasa thinks that Norio is too innocent and does not realize the huge decision that is marrying into his family. Kunimasa thinks that if he let's Norio go, it would be better for him. Which is so stupid in my opinion, like this manga has so many fillers and just tries to keep going and like... they take 10 steps forward and now it's 30 steps back with this cliff-hanger. I tell everyone that is starting to read this to just wait til there's an ending because it's so... -.-
