Idk if the others already forgot about this part but Eclis didn't just brought Yvonne back but he also sold off his fellow slaves to save his self. The slaves are attempting to escape but Eclis reported them. Penelope purposely sent him to met those slaves cuz she felt bad for them so she gave him some medical supply and money and yet he did that.
Shadow Warriors goal is still suspicious. If they wanted to get rid of magic, why so? If it's only their leader's goal the other members don't have reason to do so. Much less to a shallow goal like that. The old dwarf guy for example, he seems a good guy cuz he was buddies with the Hero party before.
Most likely because they are connected to the royal family. The Magic Association is a completely separate entity and organization that holds no ties to the royal family which means they could very easily break their treaty and take over the royal family. The magic special forces are pretty much the police force of the kingdom, which means they are required to have magical abilities to take care of other people with magical powers, so they get a freebie. But anyone that’s affiliated with the Magic Association, especially adventurers, have no ties to the royal family so they are considered a ‘threat.’
But the Shadow Warriors are also an enemy of the Empire and Magic Special forces. It was the previous King who officially disbanded the Shadow Warriors so why would the leader of the Shadow Warriors not target the current King and the Magic Special forces? Their goal just doesn't make sense.
The Continental Magic Assoc cannot topple the Empire and take over the royal family esp when Denken is also an Imperial Mage.
Serena keep refusing Dietrich cuz in the novel their child would become a tyrant and it was HER who pushed her kid to be like that. What bothers me is, if she knows the story/future shouldn't she just change how she will raise her kid instead? The solution she came up is to marry the 1st prince so her future kid wouldn't be born.








I don't like the 1st uncle & his kid but they seem to have decency unlike the aunt.
