i know its way too late to say this but:
am i the only one kinda disappointed that ryouma just let the queen pretty much betray him even after all he did for her and her country? i mean im pretty sure this “reward” of hers will be relevant and helpful for him later on but i expected him to, at the very least, talk this through with her and not just leave and let himself be pushed around. i was pretty surprised when i read that chapter cuz i didnt really expect ryouma to let that happen based from how i know him so far.
