Well… this is interesting.
I wasn’t aware anyone else used the word “Drifter” to describe a reincarnated character.
I just started using the terms “Drifter” (someone that’s been reincarnated) and “Transient” (someone that’s been summoned/transported to a other world) as a way to categorize types of isekai characters with the vain hope that it would catch on as a trope.
I’ll take this as a minor success.
On top of the manga called drifter (drawn by the same artist as Hellsing) which is an isekai where multiple historical figures ends up in a Fantasy world (for exemple Nobunaga works with dwarves to smith guns and with elves to produce black powder while there's a pro-human group/army ruled by Hitler which includes religious figures, the term was also used as back as in certain localization of the Inuyasha english dubs which defined a visitor who get thrown or fall or lost in the the demon world.
and have included that it's "dramatic irony".
This entire mess could easily be solved if the characters JUST TALKED TO EACH OTHER!
Granted, that would kinda take all the fun out of it, but I can't wait for the point when she finds out that she's been trying to run away form her perceived arranged marriage, by fake-dating the guy she doesn't want to get married to.
I know it's probably a no-brainer to say this, but I can really respect the Emperor after this chapter.
The speech he gave is right: children cannot choose who their parent are, therefore they should not be blamed for the circumstances of their birth.
Having announced the non-discrimination law and banning the mistreatment of children regardless of their lineage, my respect for him shot way up. Good man.

The tiny little sliver of a page that gets cut off of the bottom and takes up an entire separate page is a pace killer and is actively driving me up the wall!
