In what chapter did she meet her soldier friends? Is Khalid bad guy? I dropped it some time ago because it was boring and I was waiting for the appearance/clarification of these two issues.
First answer to your question: yes, in the recent chapters around 125, i don't exactly rmr this exact chapter but she hid one of her old comrades in her carriage.
The second one: technically no and yes?
-In Estelle's (Luci) eyes he's a traitor since he killed her and betrayed his country to become a noble in an enemy country, therefore making him a bad guy in her pov.
-The king who was currently ruling over Erksha in the war was corrupt, to the point he allowed nobles to exploit the poor and was extremely neglectful towards his country and his subjects only drowning himself in wealth.
-but...Khalid's family in Erksha were technically a duke family who had noble blood.
- The king killed Khalid's dad who was the duke and the rest of his family, the only way Khalid could survive was joining Estelle's knight order.
-the king would purposely assign them dangerous missions to try to kill Khalid since he was threat to his throne having royal blood and the only one alive who could contest it.
-the whole point of the knights order was to basically stop riots with the commoners and stop a revolution and prevent jangskhan from invading.
-the sad part though, was Estelle was ignorant she was just a pawn for the king, she believed she was doing it for her country but she was just contributing to his rottenness. Khalid just did as she asked or fought for her cause bc he was a simp hella obsessive w her.
╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
-She was a king's pawn and the only thing that was keeping Erkshan together was due to being a renounced swordsman "ishtar star"
-Khalid couldn't get her to change her mind despite dropping hints that he liked her, she was so dense to the point that she didn't recognize that Khalid had feelings for her. It was even mentioned that she never rlly asked any of her troops and comrades 'how they actually were, or how they were feeling'
-Estelle expressed extreme patriotism to the point it blinded her, her dedication to serving her country was useless at the en bc she didn't see how the commoners were suffering despite being a commoner herself.
- the kingdom was already rotten from the inside out, it was even more worse due to the war between Erkshan and jangskhan so that means, the commoners get taxed a lot more to fund military and less resources or food so lots of people probably succumbed to disease or starved to death.
So she was obliviously ignorant and a hypocrite. holding her sword for a lost cause of a kingdom, but these are the reasons why khalid killed her...
I'm on 11 chapter. Will there be even one wholesome relationship in this or just rapey shit? ( ̄∇ ̄")
I believe that people in general should respect the art of each artist. Not all stories have a happy ending. I love happy endings, but I also love tragedies and watching the world burn. I like to read the story that the author wants to tell without infecting the story with my opinion of how it should be or what should happen. Not all people who follow a story like this do so out of morbidity or perversion. There is the art of drawing, the art of writing and telling a story. Whoever wants it to be different, let them write their own story. If you feel like you can't read it anymore then drop it. It won't change it is a tragic story.
I really want more chapters. It seems quite interesting as for isekai. Why no updates?
╥﹏╥
