I read all 5 volumes in 2 days. I promised myself not to read vol 6 until it's finished cause I know the wait is gonna cause me anxiety. Ended up couldn't resist the temptation and now has to endure the consequences... Stuck at the capture of one of my favorite characters by a freak... Ugh, this is bad...
Though on the bright side, this probably set it up for Sophie's official induction into Tigre's harem. I agreed with a prior poster that it's unlikely any of the Vanadis will perish. The title and the volume covers heavily suggest all 7 will eventually be Tigre's companions (and most likely harem members). On that thought, I'm interested in how the author will work this harem out. It's a challenge to make a respectable end to a serious socio-politico novel if the main guy ends up with 10+ wives. On the other hand, too much setting up has been done to several female characters (teita, lim, regny, lumira and soon sophie) that having hm ending up with just Ellen will undermine much of the romantic subplots. |

What I meant though is how the character development can reasonably lead to that harem ending. Right now, I can't see any person involved with the harem agreeing to it (including Tigre). Maybe Teita, given that she's in no position to bargain... |

So frankly it still would be a respectable and serious socio-political novel even if they go for a Marry-Em-All...assuming that Tigre ends up as the next Holy Roman Emperor equivalent, with an empire to rival that of Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Alexander and Genghis. Frankly even with all the charisma and skill he has he would be hard pressed to hold such a large amount of land together at once - having these lovely ladies who just so happen to be head over heels for you to be in your boardroom and bedroom all at once sounds like a pretty awesome deal, especially when (I expect) they're good at both.

That Ellen is his main girl is so far undisputed though. We'll just have to see how it goes, what with him being on his way to become the prime breeding stock of the continent and all. As I noted above it might become a necessity after all, and all he needs to do is to give in to his night-time subconscious all of one bleedin' time. Either that or we could always count on the author to cop out on us. Anyway it seems that being free from work is making me as lazy as all hell - the backlog of this thread is looking kind of threatening right now. Can someone give me a quick rundown on where we are translation wise? |

Funny thing is that once I think it over, Sophie is the only one whose personality seems already set for a harem. I can't see her having any problem with sharing... |

And I would also like to add something.
Don't you find strange enough that Prince Jermaine was killed so easily?Maybe I think too much, but that can also be some sort of strategy elaborated by Tallard with Jermaine, using the fact that "Prince Jermaine did no like Tallard so much because of his ambitioins and thus demote him to a commander of a hundred cavalrymen", to lure Elliot to hasten the decisive battle (his plans) with the reasons Tallard explained (thta Elliot cannot forgive Tallard to have killed a member of the royal lineage and so...) On the other hand, those lines Spoiler:
That can also mean that Tallard has allied with Princess Geneviere in the sense that he wants to make her a "second Queen Zephyria" beginning the invasion from Valverde!? Last edited by setsuna86; 2013-06-14 at 04:10. |

Good lord, you're fast.
I'll see what I can do - it'll mostly be sentence and overall paragraph flow-checking and the like; that's normally what gets lost (and in the case of a lot of JP translations, stays lost) in translation in any case. |
