Her claiming of rights she is not yet entitled to does not make her any friends among Alfred's faction and merits more than a few raised eyebrows among the neutrals.

Staff

Irony: He starts the story as a member of Yuri's harem under Prince Edward, who self-proclaims himself to be the next heir. The end of the story reveals Bern married Leticia, who ultimately became the next ruler of Tasmania, so Bern ended up closer to being within the ruling class than Edward ever did. Hidden Depths: Seeing her now, it's difficult to believe that she used to be "like a meatheaded boy" and wanted to join the army. The Good Chancellor: He is the Prime Minister and makes his best effort to keep the kingdom running smoothly in spite of how increasingly difficult it is becoming to manage as a result of greed and corruption. When Edward attempts to take the throne, his arrogance blinded him to the point he didn’t realize Iris and her Uncle had formed an alliance with other nobles, and he couldn’t stop a large number of people from walking away from him. If that wasn’t enough, his brother Alfred had him, Yuri, his mother, and grandfather arrested for treason.
