As anticipated, the princess was an arrogant jerk in the first chapter because this was pushing feminist values. They made her loud, obnoxious and low key brutish to spit in the face of gender stereotypes. I GUESS nothing's wrong with that, but making her selfish and callous is just annoying. I know it's reversing gender roles. But I have to say that the implication of having her act rudely to resemble men is just as sexist and prejudiced as chauvinism. By stereotyping males into a rigid caricature and exaggerating the negative traits of what is perceived to be traditional masculinity, not only you put an even bigger rift between men and women but you make men feel more inclined to never relinquish their sexist views. Oh dear I'm ranting.

Anyways I'M HOPING that this manhua and its feminist self won't make our protagonist carry her childish behaviour into adulthood. I mean it's cute NOW but...hmmm...let's see.

Where was I? RIGHT. Darn tooting manhua distracting me from how much I hate her by making her position pathetic when she was just doing the right thing. I mean I actually feel sorry for her now. No matter. I've got my eye on you, protagonist. Don't think for a second I'll start liking you just because...or maybe you should think that. MANNNNNNN. I really like this.

Aww poor princess. Hope she succeeds. Sienna X Latio all the way!

Just who were those kids? Why was the King undermining his own daughter and another royal family right in front of them? It’s ridiculous that they were allowed to laugh and jape at them like it was some kind of playground dispute. No wonder the King gets killed in the future.

@krobelus this is exactly what I was thinking the whole time reading this chapter

 

[owlette]

Omg, the aladdin vibes are so strong at the end, and T/L notes are 100% accurate.
So blonde kid is NOT the brother. But seriously, sometimes I wish that artists would just use the colour palette to differetiate their important characters so peeps like me won’t get confused.

Ironically, if this story holds any relationship to the Eastern–Western Roman Empires and the Germanic Tribes, and if the Greco-Roman religions have any bearing on the story, then the Emperor effectively demonstrated classical Roman male behavior that coincidentally conflicted with their own religion—a woman could choose to live like the Huntress or Athena. It's too bad she doesn't know to use her studies to contradict her father's unjust rule on her life. Sadly. I don't know if this story will in any way do this. Heh.
