I do wonder if the original Shield Hero unlocked the Curse Shield.

Given that the Soul Eater was level 89, then they were in fact all underleveled. Naofumi only managed to beat him because he's unlocked the cursed shield series, which is indeed really OP if it can enable him to beat an enemy that is more than twice his level.

Also, people seem to be assuming that the king's known previous Shields but the way I understood it the Waves aren't that common, like something that comes around every few centuries. The way it was said it sounded like they were going off of writings and the like rather than personal experience. But even if they hadn't met the previous Shields personally if they hate demi-humans and he was known to love and protect them, any problems they've had with demi-humans could have been projected onto the previous Shield. |

Regarding the assassination plot, I'm not 100% sure Malty is responsible. Yeah, she clearly resents her sister and she is probably wicked enough to want her dead, but I think she has more to loose than gain trying to have her killed. If her plan succeds, the shield hero is framed as the culprit and might be sentenced to death, something we already know is not a desiderable outcome because without his help the kingdom risks not being able to survive the waves. If she fails and is discovered...in the best case I can see her being exiled, in the worst executed. To me, it's too dangerous.

1. Going by the previous summoning of the 4 heroes I think they didn't have that much difficulty dealing with the waves as we've seen with these current heroes. Of course we don't know much about the previous heroes (aside from the former shield hero being friendly with demi-humans) and the waves they've dealt with but if they had as much difficulty as the current group then it would've been passed down, maybe as stories of great casualties as the waves came and the heroes weren't able to save everyone.
Why is this important? It sets the tone that the waves are beatable by the heroes even if the enemies seemed overpowered. The only thing that has been mentioned about the prophecy of the 4 heroes is that they can "counter" the waves, which may mean that the waves are structured so that the heroes can definitely clear each wave when it comes. If it's structured to be beatable, then if they're having a hard time it means that they're underlevelled, probably because they skipped wave 1 and didn't get the levels they were supposed to there. And these 3 with their party members are supposed to have been class upgraded already! (Eh, there are too many assumptions on this theory than what I'm comfortable with. Maybe I'm completely wrong ) 2. Everyone, from the church of the 3 heroes, the king's surprise at shield hero's offensive skills during this wave and the games/novel the heroes have read all say that the shield hero is the most useless hero out of the 4. This probably might've also affected the old shield hero, which may have been more knowledgeable than Nao with the lore of shield hero before he was summoned into the world and so didn't bother to unlock whatever the shield has to offer. This is the "script" everyone follows, that Nao has no idea existed, and what I think the king meant by his statement. "Everyone knows that the shield hero is useless, why are you becoming so powerful now? What did you do? What's your secret? You're not fitting the role of the useless shield hero that everyone knows about!" Out of every character introduced so far only the queen seems to not hate or dismiss the shield hero outright. The 3 stooges thought he was useless, the old mage, agil, and the soldier party all helped him after he has shown through his actions that he's not a bad guy, Nao's daughters don't count, and even Melty thinks it's Nao's fault that the king hates him, so why is the queen the only one with a different reaction? What does she know about the shield hero's lore?? 3. If the attempt's mastermind isn't Myne, then it's an unknown new enemy, since at this point I can't see why a simulated assassination attempt would be useful in any way. The King won't think of doing something like this to Melty, same with the Queen, and add to that what Nao said when this reeked of a set up just like what Myne did.. If Melty's dead, Malty/Myne becomes the crown princess, Nao's framed as the murderer and the 3 stooges can go defeat the waves for the kingdom! Makes you think what kind of childhood Myne had for her to turn out to be this evil! This is not just "hating the shield hero" type of evil, it's "I'm going to kill my sister and risk the future of this world/kingdom" level of evil!

The thing about Malty is that she cares only about herself and not the kingdom. All her plots and deception are for her benefit and fun. Even Melty calls her out about not caring for the kingdom. Hence, she was stripped of succession and Melty became crown princess instead. This probably led to her being even more resentful and even more self-serving and manipulative. In other words, she doesn't even think about the consequences her actions cause. She is just very ignorant of that. People like that never believe that anything they do is wrong, and it's the world's fault for anything bad that happens. Besides, she can manipulate the king in her favor to come up with any excuses and cause all the nobles and church to follow suit. So yeah, I'm positive it's all her, since these are royal guards who must be listening to someone in the royal family, she only thinks about herself, and she doesn't care about what happens to the kingdom, since it's her toy to play with.

This is probably semantics at this point, I'll stop now, let us just see if something changes with the 3 stooges the next time Glass appears.
