Hmm, why did Nika ask if they could change fate? If he just wants to marry Fii, it shouldn't be so hard since he's a royal bastard and not the future king.
"I thought she saw me as a reliable brother-figure, yet..."
Fortunately, she doesn't.
And unless the MC was totally paranoid and imagined things, her brother was definitely abusive.
Well damn, I thought the culprit (and the secret son) was the boy who turned out to be Orlocke's new body. So that monk dude killed his own buddy? Talk about a cold-hearted murder.
@Vigo_to_Vigo Thank you, I chuckled.
It will be hilarious if they manage to beat the knight and throw him off the ship but he still survives. Also, now that the kraken has been mentioned he must make an appearance. Oh boy, things are getting good again if you see this as a darkly humorous satire.
I agree with @Soulwarfare, when I finished the manga my first thought was "Well that was pretty good" but the first part was indeed better and it's weird how some backstories are skipped (I've heard somewhere that TK's backstory was the saddest and I thought I would learn about it here but then...
What I expected: Knight-kun interrogating Skelly-chan while revealing a bit about himself and the Empire.
What I got: Ninja fox nun OS Knight-kun!
...Seriously, if the knight is really dead I will join the dark side and only come here to complain.
The book was intriguing, I wonder if the MC is that Kevin Ashton guy and was a psycho in his former life. Btw I really don't blame him for not taking the dog seriously if he can usually detect intruders (and the book was distracting him). Also the mithril armor shouldn't have been a problem...
