Is that Julius? Looks like things are spicing up.

I don't think its the 3rd sister (especially since she is supposed to be similar to Genia).
Rather it might be someone related to the "Kingdom of Lastania", and possibly the future wife of Julius.

As per the summary, it seems that the Demon Army's activity have increased (mentioned in Vol 07 as well), and Souma sends his men to "Lastania" to help out (because of Maria's request), and they meet Julius there who is working in the Lastania army or something (most of my understanding is based on what i got from 'GT').

Julius Amidonia, Roroa's older brother.

On a side note, if you have time, please help out in filling up the new wikia for this series,

https://genkoku.wikia.com/wiki/Genji..._Saikenki_Wiki

Almost all the images from the series have been added in already, but articles are mostly empty (its a lot of work to write stuff with only two people managing).

[The 48th Ronin]

So Julius is marrying into Lastania for a chance to fight Souma again?

[NAJ P. Jackson]

^He'd be violating the pact spearheaded by the Empire if he did that. And this time he won't be able to use the excuse of Souma not signing the pact.

[Ramero]

Why Julius never quits? But this is fun since we can see how desperate Julius is despite now Amidonia has merged with Elfrieden and become Friedonia.

[blackman]

Why assume julius will be the bad guy again, he might be turning to a good guy already since he does have a little doubt on the way he ruled Amidonia before

[Mechatrill]

Spoilers here on Julius:

Spoiler:

He has indeed reformed. The shock of his entire country basically rebelling and forcing him into exile forced him to really do some introspection. In the meanwhile, he's staying in Lastania fighting against the Demon armies on the front lines, and ends up winning the love of the Princess of Lastania at the same time.

That said, the war is basically going bad for Lastania, to the point where they're scrambling to try to get any reinforcement they can. Unfortunately, the only real power that can get there in time is Friedonia, so at that point Julius went as far as offering his own head (to further legitimize Souma's rule of Amidonia by removing the last royal not aligned with him) in exchange for Souma's aid.

Souma ended up helping anyways, and the condition he imposed was for Julius to marry the Lastanian princess and to take their name. This way, it removes the last vestiges of Julius' claim to Amidonia without forcing Souma to kill Rorona's last remaining family. Needless to say, this was happily accepted by all parties involved.

Happy End. Except for the demons. That still needs to be taken care of...

[NAJ P. Jackson]

I hope we get to see the Empress again in this Volume. I'll take what I can get. It sucks that the Author is holding off of her and Souma meeting in person.

Hopefully this Volume will be action pack with the conflict with the Demon Army.

Q is the princess Julius marry next in line to the throne or just in the line? Would annoy me if he still wound up king of a better country after failing in his own

He'll be the prince consort not the king.

[kapp]

Still sucks cause he'll have some authority and lots or luxury without any real suffering

[Nu Pantz]

What would ”real suffering" entail, after having your father and king slain, and your own country basically turning against you—forcing you into exile?

[Ramero]

He basically got no idea that his little sister, Roroa is the one that made Julius to exile. Of course he didn't know since Roroa only do it behind the scene.

He may be changed and of course since Souma struck some heavy deal. He have to extinguish his family's legacy and joining the princess'es family as a price to make sure he won't rebel again.

Q: is there already an illustration of souma's child, or is the light novel not cover that yet?

[belatkuro]

Not yet. Vol7 has Liscia still pregnant and staying at her parents' house. She didn't appear at all in the volume. Just a letter sent to Souma from her saying she was pregnant is the only thing important that she did there. Maybe in vol8 since it will be about time for her to give birth as latter half of vol7 skipped some months and seasons.

[Huh...?]

Preview for the first 2 chapters (aka., "Prologue" and "Chapter 01") of Volume 08 is up on Overlap product page. If anyone interested, check it out.

Its just been around about 1 months (at the end of Volume 07) since Souma learned that Liscia is pregnant, so its possible that she is only around 3-4 months pregnant.

Well, the Bonus chapters for Volume 07 has one chapter which is about Liscia (haven't read it yet, so don't know its content, but know its there because of the bonus content list on "J-Novel" site).

[trowapeter]

I'm guessing that Liscia will give birth to her child before the official coronation ceremony

[Ultragunner]

will they delay the ceremony again?

geez, Souma is still technically just a provisional king after 7 vols

[Huh...?]

Well, at the end of volume 07, it was around the 8th month of the current in-story year (the volume covered events from the 5th to 8th month), which basically makes it that there is around 4 more months before the wedding (as mentioned in the end of volume 5, Souma is supposed to be crowned and marry at the end of the current in-story year).

So, my guess all those would possibly happen in the 9th volume, unless the time frame for the 8th volume is really slow or something happens which will delay the ceremony during the events of vol 09.

Liscia informed Souma about her pregnancy around 5-6th month of the current in-story year (which means she had to be around 3-5 month already). And considering that the marriage and coronation is supposed to happen at the end of the current in-story year, so yeah its possible that she would give birth before her marriage.

By the way, since i haven't read the WN, i am not sure what exactly happens.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: I tried as best i could to figure out the chapter name for the Epilogue of Vol 08 (the ToC is out with the official site preview) and it seems that Volume 09 might focus on "Nine Headed Dragon Archipelago Union".

This is the best i could figure out the Kanji's for the chapter name of Volume 08 (since the official source image is so small, there might be errors),

Prologue: 北原の？狼
Chapter 1: 北への道
Chapter 2: 未来のために
Chapter 3: 人員配置
Chapter 4: ラスタ？？の攻防
Chapter 5: 仇？との再会
Chapter 6: いまここにある現実
Chapter 7: 美昧しく境きました
Chapter 8: ラスタ解放？
Chapter 9: 助っ人来？
Chapter 10: それぞれの決？？？
Chapter 11: ダビコン河、？ゆ
Chapter 12: ？利の？
Epilogue: フリードニア王国軍、東へ
