That said, it was made under the assumption that Anise was going to be the one raising the child back then.
So if it's going to be her partner raising the child, it might be different.
Or maybe if they...
Pretty sure she just picked whatever is the easiest 'explanation' to murder all the sons until the duke 'remember' about his forgotten son.
While the real reason she did all that was revenge for the paladin, since he chose to go to monastery to avoid whatever fate would befell him if he stayed...
So looks like Irene is a reincarnated-into-villainess girl who did her best avoid death flag only to ends up with overly possessive reverse harem.
And now is suffering from not being able to escape from the otome game troubles when she just want to have some normal friends.
@student4444 : I was editing the post since I read more of the RAW so feel free to check if you read that before I finish the edit.
Inori himself is somewhat of a troll as well so I think it's fair that he get trolled now and then.
@Greenletta : Yes, that's why he accepted Nina's request for Saintess to be able to leave her cage more (which increase the chance of her escaping) but won't let Nina meet Saintess for fear of the risk of that possibility.
Do keep in mind I don't know the RAW so that was just my speculation...
@Ciel : Given the nature of the language, I think this is a case of the TL putting in the wrong pronoun.
They think it's Nina saying it, but it's probably the king.

"I know you're smart enough to not help her escape"
"But can you refuse her request to go together?"
i.e. Even...
@Pyrostickfigure : Definitely feels like apocalyptic ignorance so far.
Like, he want to be 'useful', so he work hard to get used to his monstrous power (here he's just happy he can use magic)
But that in turn makes him even more monstrous.
And by the mindset of chivalry, he must save all the...
@Vincentius : Or the 'sacrifice one to save many' cycles.
The Demon Lord rise to take control of demons that's growing in numbers beyond control, gathering 'evil' into one spot.
Then Hero come in to tactical nuke them, thinning the herd back to 'manageable' numbers, oh and Hero also die in that...
I might be in the minority, but I'm enjoying how Ru-Da is getting what he want and seem to be regretting it.
He wanted Dam-I to be isolated, alone, so that he can swoop in and be her only ally.
Instead he get to watch her breaking into pieces from the stress and even when he tried to step in...
@DeathDonut : From what I understand, it's not that she's rejecting the rune, but rather the box literally can't offer her anything.
Basically she's on the opposite extreme of 'runeless', instead of being too weak and no single rune work, she's too strong that no single rune will reflect her...
