I wonder if we’ll be able to step out of the follower role in the future.
Because, we’ve always served others’ causes, first Param and now Arcadia.
It is a bit annoying how the MC doesn’t seems to have any personal ambitions or plans.

That’s very sad but it’s true, MC had always been a tool for other people desires. Spent their childhood as a test rabbit for this crazy man, running away from his also crazy daughter who wanted to kill her, fighting for Leon and Param, going on a wild goose chase against the clock TO SAVE Param, and even after facing death they are brought back to fight for a cause they never agreed.
All they ever wanted was some peace, and the most close they were to that was with Aunt Bess or that short period with the white fangs before discovering they were royalty.
After all they been through it makes sense that all MCs want is some peace.

Well dependant on what you were proficient in, you don’t have to murder anyone at all so Ante quite literally changes her dialogue on what you did iirc, she ended up wasting my time and I ended up doing her and her people in, it was unfortunate but it was either that or everyone dies regardless. She wasn’t really doing her job, she had just suspected us from the start without any decent reasoning besides that we’re “mysterious” and have a “mysterious” background. I literally put everyone to sleep and Ante still attacked me even after I attempted to talk her down. But anyone can feel free to correct me if I’m in the wrong.

It’s always nice to see some concentrated Ante hate

To be fair to Ante, drugging the entire squadron of paladins isn’t really a good look.
But yes, I’m pretty sure Ante will confront the mage no matter what option is chosen to get past the paladins.

Better than painful death my MC gave them xD

I don’t think so either, it’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t type of situation but maybe I’d feel different if we actually got the chance to know Ante but I honestly doubt it.

I’m 99% sure Ante will have “I did the right thing and you know it” attitude when we meet her. When the fact about us working with Arcadia will be known to her she will go “See? I was right about them this whole time and no one believed me! You should feel ashamed for trying to guilt-trip me!”

Or putting the entire squadron of paladins to sleep. XD
Holy moly. What did you do to make their death painful? XD
Oh, Ante won’t have the chance to learn that. The first thing Imma do when I see her again is ending her. No word will be said to her if I can help it.

I’m trying to catch up on all of the books I have missed out on so I played the first one last night and binged it. I loved Leon, I’ll admit, and my plan was to remain loyal to him despite everything. But then I played the demo and met Yusuha and well… sorry Leon but maybe you shouldn’t have burned me alive. Also I absolutely adore Ilya.

I know it’s 1 days late but hey, finally i’m not alone xD
She doesn’t care about kingdom and stuff and only work because she’s… there, because she’s given the role to do so. Hell, she doesn’t even hate Mireil and want to reunite again like before she wants to kill her if possible. So currently she only want to be always by Eli sides and will follow whatever Eli told her to

Oh definitely. I’m sure she’ll spin it that way, so when that happens, all bets are off. But as SPYMASTER, it’s her job to be suspicious of anyone and everyone close to the king. Even Julias shared the same view of MC until…well, MC’s sister came along.

Ante is an obnoxious little bug, but she’s doing her job and is not a friend of the MC.
Leon however has no such excuses.

Even Julius was better than Ante because he straight up tells you that he’s suspicious of the MC since they were so elusive about their past. He doesn’t really pressure the MC into telling him but if you picked the evade question with legal bs route, he’ll say that he would have to change the loopholes for it but doesn’t push it.
Ante, however, did push the line especially when she was spying on the MC taking a bath and nearly got her head impaled by a ice spear/bolt or whatever it was.

So, to all my fellow Ante-haters, how would you like to kill Ante if given the opportunity?
For me, I’d like to kill her with a crossbow, preferably with an arrow coated in a deadly venom that causes painful, excruciating death in a couple of minutes. Of course, said arrow will be enchanted to never miss its intented target, and I want it to either pierce one of her lungs or her abdomen, so it won’t kill her outright and the venom can burn through her veins as it kills her.
I haven’t forgotten how she and her subordinates cut Ilya’s cheek with a paralysing dart back in Calinger when they persued both the MC and Ilya. This is why I want to kill her with a poisoned arrow.

God damn, thats some graphic and very specific death. I never really put much though into it, since I still don’t know with how much bullshit can I get away with in terms of “I am being mind-controlled” and “I actually have amnesia” etc. Since she is a spymaster, I think she would appreciate a simple Intrigue:99% stab in the back from a fellow Cloak and Dagger enjoyer.

Get real poetic with it. Cripple her and set a fire under her, tell her that what she is experiencing now is the result of her mistrust and suspicion towards us. After all if her leaders solution to mistrust even if the person punished is to insist upon innocence is burning. Is it not just to treat her mistrust the same?

I’m also leaning towards putting her on a pyre lol
