@kaarme
thing is, the butler (and the rest) HAVEN'T been sitting on their asses doing nothing

they've spent literally every penny to their name and been working themselves to the bone establishing refugee camps, search parties, etc, while attempting to fend of political coups seizing what remains of their land and power, which would allow essentially anyone to take control of the citizens who've already had their lives destroyed. in the manga, he comes off as a dick, but think about it this way: dude hasn't seen a single thing they've gone through. He's had his own shit to deal with.

Also iirc he's kind of a dick on top of that

 

[Kaarme]

@nobaka I don't see how he could have achieved protecting the land. The family head was executed due to political games. What on Earth could a mere butler do if those big political players wanted to seize the land? Obviously it wasn't up to some random butler. Far more likely is that it was either some law that prevented it for the time being or, more likely, no noble could do it because other nobles prevented it. After all, whoever does it would grow a lot more powerful compared to the others.

But sure, he has been doing whatever he could to help the refugees. Too bad he's not extending the same courtesy to Eris. Such behavior makes one doubt his true motivations.

@Kaarme Don't doubt the butler's motives, doubt the author's motives.

Spoiler

And sure enough you can see this plot device being used in the very next chapter as one of the reasons for our MC to have sex with her. Plot progression demands more sacrifices.

 

[Shyning]

This chapter wrecked my brain.

@kaarme

I'm not saying butler isn't a shitter, just saying he's not evil. He outright stated that he wanted use Eris as a pawn to regain some power in Fedoa/fitoa, because otherwise it goes to whoever wants it

@criver

it's really not a plot device to get eris to fuck rudi, she's been planning it for weeks. She never really gave a shit about the land, just sad that her family's all dead. Honestly in terms of shitty cliche plots, MT is actually refreshingly competent about avoiding a lot of them. Not all, but a lot.

@nobaka

Spoiler

Now go to the next chapter and see that one of the motivations for the MC to agree to have sex with her is precisely this artificial drama.

that doesn't really follow when we actually know for a fact that's not what's going on. it's not spelled out as clearly here, but the manga adaptation is pointing out that rudi has no fucking idea why she's doing what she's doing. i can tell you, if you actually want to know the reason

I actually thought of a decent way to explain it without spoilers

If you had to describe Eris in one word, the word would be 'idiot'. And I don't mean, kinda dumb. For lack of a better example, she makes goku from dragonball look like a competent, well balanced thinker. For example, rudi was shocked when eris found him miserable after reuniting with paul, and she didn't go and try to beat the shit out of him. That was her shining moment of not being an idiot in all their time together.

Whatever you're imagining the author has eris thinking, you're most likely giving her way too much credit.

the only reason i'm saying this is because it's a pretty good story, and it would be a shame if you dropped it just because you thought this was a cliche plot device (which it is, just not the one you're talking about)

 

[criver]

@nobaka By MC I mean our male MC if that was not obvious from the context. What I said is made explicit (it's literally written in the next chapter), so try as you might to argue, this is a fact. The artificial drama was used as a motivator.

 

[nobaka]

nah she's been planning to fuck him since before orsted put a hole in him

he's wanted to fuck her for a while. the manga changes the actual interaction right before sex. acting like a cat didn't make them laugh and connect on some level. the instant she said it they started fucking

it's a greyrat thing, he's biologically predisposed to beast race girls (and tits)

he didn't do it to comfort her, he actively wanted to wait because he didn't want to take advantage of her feeling alone because her family is dead

also, unclear what you mean by artificial drama

it's a pretty dramatic situation, all things considered. no artifice necessary

 

[SamuraiX101]

Where can I find the scene where they had sex on the LN?

 

[Reshfan]

Wait hold the fucc up m8s

Spoiler

Now Im ready (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

 

[Cassie_Hack]

MC might be a lolicon in a shota's body but that old man wanted to fuck the literal child when she was a child.

 

[Glomoro]

nah she's been planning to fuck him since before orsted put a hole in him

Eris internal monologue at some point, probably: How dare someone else penetrate Rudy before I could.

noooooooooooooooo not hilda

 

[9manny99]

MC with the mind of a 40 year old sleeps with his distant cousin 15 year old cousin. Never change Medieval times.

 

[StarGasm]

Ah, my modern earthling mind tells me this is wrong but the lust within is...

 

[Wintermyth]

I kind of had a hunch that her parents would die as well, but it's still unfortunate to have it confirmed :/

 

[kuro0102]

Hilda died? Fuck

 

[goodhunter]

RIP Hilda, a treasure like you has died

So weird for Philip and Hilda to just be offed like that off screen basically. Don't like that choice. Unless the mangaka is a shitty writer, which I don't think he/she is ...I'm hoping that they're not exactly dead and that Ghislaine was made to see fakes of both of them to lead her to believe that they're dead. I mean ... there were multiple times where it seemed Philip was hiding something and it was insinuated that he was planning something ... and then suddenly for that plot point to just vanish by being killed off screen ... that's some real bad writing.

 

[SotiCoto]

R.I.P to the best pair of jugs in the entire story.

And the current actions of Rudeus and Erin don't bode well... It is the nature of drama to reject that which is pushed continuously.
