please, can you explain this a bit further? I keep hearing that in later volumes Henrietta isnt quite so 'nice' as she is portrayed in the beginning, but the unfortunate me doesnt speak japanese so i cant read it for myself.

One thing i noticed from the already translated chapters, is that in the novels she is significantly less of an idealistic queen then they make her out to be in the anime. In the anime, in almost every scene she has appeared so far she is shown to be some kind of a overly perfect ruler with self-sacrificial tendencies, but in the novels she is considerably more selfish and imperfect. I dont have much to go on here, since she doesnt have that many appearances compared to other characters, but i'm really interested to see how her character develops.
