So this is what the real Irvine is like huh? Interesting...

I have to say, this show really brings Elianna with characters that doesn't seem what they are appear to be. She's lucky that some of these guys care about her.

Five bucks that the threat of war is not over just like that, the war breaks out, the prince goes to war, our princess gets worried sick, prince returns, happy end. Also this truly is a shoujo work through and through ... even scary ghosts turn into hot dudes, xD

In the end Prince Chris sending someone to shadow Elli was kinda meaningless, if he was going to show up.

If Lady Sophia ended arrested, would be right too, she certainly was playing dumb games against a princess.

More allies.

The cold conflict between the two neighboring countries is coming to peace thanks to our princess and as always Chris and Eli's pair is good, they hit in a different way.
I give it 6/10.

Being the princess definitely has competition, and Elianna has it hard facing against Sophia and the other nobles. Instead, having Irvin at the old castle for a conversation, both Maldura and Sauslind blood runs through his bones, and hearing Elianna pledge support for his native country is a godsend.

The Ghost of Eidel is Irvin's assistant Rei, and bandits come attacking and hosting everyone within hostage. How Prince Christopher came in to sweep the bandits just feels too convenient to put down the possible conflict, and he makes sure that those involved will get their punishments.

Irvin's story gets full closure, and Sylvia is actually the flower-guarding labybug. The relationship between Sauslind and Maldura is hostile, but as the idealistic dreamer Elianna puts it: if no one takes the first step, this would forever be on a standstill. And once again, Elianna takes another step towards kingdom reconciliation, and for now, this is the end of Maldura's arc.

As much as this episode is sweet, just can't help the fact that the anime is unbelievably rushed against the manga.

I’m glad Sophia got her comeuppance. She’s been so annoying her since she first showed up. Eli was nothing but kind to her. Irvine family backstory was pretty interesting. RIP his mom :/ I thought he would end up being an antagonist but ends up being a really kind ally.

And to top a great ep off, really cute moment with Eli and Chris at the end. Calling him by his name is a big step for Eli.

Good revealations this episode. Chris came at the perfect moment and saved Eli, he really can't leave her alone. Too bad their kiss got interrupted.

This is a feel-good anime.

I thought Irvin would be some bad character like Sophia. But he turns out to be a good guy, unlike that stupid Sophia. Hehe, Maldura's prince eh? But then he said he was under orders of the Second Prince. So, is Irvin a prince or not? He did say his father was a prince and the current king. So I guess he's probably a younger prince with half-rights.

I still wonder who Lilia is, considering she calls Eli a sister. Chris's reprimanding voice makes me laugh. It's so good. Poor guy couldn't kiss her. 🀣🀣🀣

The maid was the mastermind all along! Glad that everyone has returned and the hunting festival ended on a good note.

i think it's just me but it's getting hard for me to remember all this info and names of person and who did what etc. i'm sure it will be easier to remember if i binge this whole anime in a sitting. still this was quite an enjoyable episode.

sophia ended up making some fool of herself. lol.

with this hayden is also domesticated xD

i hope there are more eli x chris moments in next episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Eli should certainly start looking out for her own safety. In a way kind of funny how all these groups of people showed up in that old abandoned building.

I feel like this arc was great at first and Eli really stood on her own as a character without many cringe couple bits, but it was so rushed and disjointed I'm honestly not sure what happened other than they beat some rebels. Like, is Irvine's mum dead? What was the point of seeing her ghost? What exactly happened when she went against the duke? Was the maid from Maldura? If so how did she end up looking after a noble? If not, why is she on their side? Also, the reveal of who the ghost was was so disappointing and not built up to at all, if you're going to blame it on a pretty boy, at least try to give him some personality and screentime so he's worth being there, otherwise you may as well google pretty longhaired anime boys.

I read up to the book market arc in the manga and was really enjoying so I'm kind of confused as to why I dislike this show, I think I might just start reading the manga again instead

Episode 8 is a good episode.

I like the ending when he calls her his "Ladybug". If you didn't know, in East Asian culture (to name a couple: Chinese & Japanese), red is a symbol of good fortune or to wish someone good luck. Hence, why weddings usually have red themes, or at least, they are more common. I believe this is symbolism not only in a cute/romantic way but in a message that Elianna is Christopher's good luck charm. Or you could say he truly believes he is lucky to be with her. See, ladybugs are themselves, a symbol of good luck in Japan makes it even sweeter.

- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start
