Most likely, although will check back the LN to see if the anime deviated in this regard.

Checked out the translated LN covering the end of the anime, some things were different:

Spoiler for LN spoilers:

- Horacio doesn't board the Wyvern ship in the LN. He stays behind on land, but escapes Delvincourt for Zaloudek once the Kuschepercans arrive.
- Catalina doesn't commit suicide, she chooses to face Eleanora and her army in the throne room. She surrenders and is taken as political prisoner.
- The remaining Western countries gang up to attack a weakened Zaloudek. Its remaining forces must retreat to defend their country.
- The Western countries later make an armistice with Zaloudek so they can get their hands on its airship tech. Many are interested in getting Horacio and the Wyvern ship plans, but he and the plans seem to have disappeared. (It's implied he escaped again once he realized his country was on the losing side.)

I see. Killing off Catalina and Cristobal makes it seem like they have no intention of making season 2. Otherwise they wouldn't change the LN events so dramatically for fear of it biting them in the posterior later down the line.

About the King, I suspect they changed it because Ernesti and his party haven't had any interactions with the new king at all. It would be strange to bring him out at this late point, so they just stuck with the old king we all know and love.

I loved this show. One of the best this past season and definitely the most enjoyable one. Ticked a lot of right bocex for me.

7.5+

I hope there will be a new season in the near future.
