Another episode where you'd have to expect the unexpected.

I got a feeling this episode is used to set up for the final stages of the story with the remaining episodes. Either way, it's an important one with the recent peace agreements aligned with the main plot between the kingdoms.

2nd place attack king of light because he cannot bear to go back to darkness (or getting controlled like before?), KajiKaji's character killed him to protect her. He got caught.

Confusion from trust grew for both sides.

KajiKaji's character remembering what he said, which says not mind why 2nd place's action.

White cat lead him to king of light. Confession, and promise to help out in co-exist of dark and light. Then separation.

The new fighting begins next.

With recent progression in the Kingdom of Black, Adel and the Prince bid their goodbyes to prepare for more truce balance between both Black and White.

But as is with the power of balance, Adel fuzzled out with the King of Darkness's fused power, the Prince slaying his unconsciousness, and all that: a consequence of the Prince getting arrested for nothing (albeit trying to save Queen Iris) from knight commander Phious. All that "friendship" the past few episodes, burned to the ground in an instant.

With the resultant force that has scarred both sides, getting the message across won't be easy...not without some external help, and from Queen Iris converting from a white cat (Shironeko, get the link?).

Nevertheless, the path that's laid out for both the Prince of Darkness and Queen Iris, their fates intertwined to each other: to protect what they walk their paths upon, a promise to shoulder each other.

Quite an easy episode to stomach, the calm before the storm to settle the plot for the last quarter of the show. Hell, I'd might say this is the best episode so far.

almost exactly what I was gonna write ^^
yeah the last two episodes makes this episode feel a lot more powerful.
I didn't expect the Prince of Darkness to kill Adel.
also, yeah I would have liked to see Iris and the Prince of Darkness kiss. alas that didn't happen.

Anyways, this was a good episode (and so were the last two <3).

My reaction when Prince of Darkness killed Adel



Honestly, I bet Adel was ordered to assassinate Iris.

That is an important promise, please don't break that promise. I don't care even if it's not a kissing scene but I like this one, really. Actually, I like seeing Iris's crying face, even though in this episode Iris almost cried but it seemed like something was calming her down.

This was actually a very very well written twist, I never would’ve expected Adel to pull something like that tbh. Yea I guess in hindsight there was slight foreshadowing with him receiving a sword from Phious, but prior to that I didn’t really get any vibes that he’d do that

Good job of using the past two fluffy episodes to lead into this. Pretty fucked up that phious first reaction is to attack Yami though instead of asking questions after he saved the queen’s life... then to beat him like a dog...

Cute ship moment at the end between Yami and the queen, but succubus girl best girl so hopefully next ep she gets some shine. This show’s definitely getting better and better, too bad no one’s really watching.

It felt like Adel knew the prince would kill him. And was saying goodbye to him. But off course had to follow orders he was given.
Possible with some last minute words for the prince to think about.

I really liked that episode. It was interesting to see what each of the side-characters thought about this war (a little) between the Light and the Darkness. Furthermore, now that the Prince of Darkness and Iris are officially lovers, I guess, and got to make that promise, I'm sure things will get really interesting in the anime. Also, I never expected Adel to be such a shit. I knew he wanted to end this war, but I never thought he wanted to do it by killing Iris and betraying his friends who trusted him. The fact that he died (maybe not) by being cut in half by his own friend is quite disappointing, but it's part of the plot, and it's exciting. Overall, it was a great episode. 10/10.

And yet some thought the last episode was boring. When it wasn't at all.

You can really tell just how broken the Kingdom of Darkness well and truly is. Gotta follow orders no matter what. Even through forging bonds. Still gotta go through with it. Which in turn, really makes you want to root for the MC to become the next King, as he'd treat it far better, and help fix this broken and disgusting mess.

Also I forgot to add but I really like those 2 insert songs (the one that starts at 18:32 and finishes at 19:55 and the one from 17:05 till 18:07).

Does anyone know the name of those insert songs ?

Adel just turned his skin and people hardly give it any second thought as to why it happened? Okay, let's pretend he was a bluffer in front of the light kingdom and didn't tell anything to our nameless prince as he knew he'd go against him. It is true it fits his behavior from the tournament. But at the end of the tournament he gave a glimpse to another side of him. There was this weird power from him/his sword (can't remember what exactly). Maybe it was the king's trap to make him do it without his realization?

How come the nameless prince is accused of betrayal when he saved her? They should thank him, dammit! Lock him up? What's the sense of it? Him being savage if your excuse? Cause Adel wasn't savage at all when trying to kill Iris.

Okay, I guess there was that thing with them at the lake and she feels something for him for saving her life, but really... She knew he was the prince? I doubt any of the viewers wouldn't be able to tell that without previous episodes\the game. He has 0 behavior of a prince. Adel's charisma fits much more than his... more or less muteness. And you are the queen you could stop it by saying! And even if not one would listen to you, you could still open your mouth!

I don't know, this episode felt way too weird.

Have been waiting for the betrayal although I thought it would happen last episode.
Didn't expect such a brutal killing of Adel though but it had to be done.
Now for the struggle...

I don't understand this...Do you think this(whatever happened in this episode)is realistic??Does anyone think people actually like that???This only decreases your rating and you make people personally hate your work...There were millions ways to make it work out and you do this??actually braindead..every flipping anime....Just makes my blood boil and drop the anime right away.FYI: I'm not talking about the plot twist but everything that what happened after that.

I give a huge salute to had that surprising moment. Yet, the dead was nearly success to hit, i may perplexed with that. Rip my best character on this shit show. Its just a nonsense drama without a proper reason behind his guts to do that sacrificial attack. Other than that its just useless, especially that naive promises from the nameless MC. I mean, why you needed to chop off his body? It would be good if you just catch it like you did before. Was that changed really take a huge difference? Or you just getting blind because your lover got a surprised attack? Nonsense. Smh.

Okay, then. To the next episode.

Even though Adel's motives were clear (from the selection round) didn't expect him to suddenly go for the attack there. They sure don't question why MC protected the queen instead of letting Adel do his thing, but more importantly MC is a pretty bad 'bodyguard' for the 'envoy'

Did anyone actually know why the hell Adel was even there? I mean, we literally knew nothing about him other then he wanted to be king and he grew up poor and alone. How did he even get into the prince competition? How did he go from a kid with absolutely nothing to being a candidate for king.

In fact I don't really know anything about the main character either. Other then he lived in a village as an orphan possibly, then everyone died. I hope we learn more about Adel, but I don't really see that happening with this pattern...

What terrible episode. They my dude dirty and stomped him out while claiming THEY "prevented the attack"... No one did anything, not a damn thing, not even a 'Yo, chill, he saved her life!' Straight typical nonsense.Hope Phious gets killed in some brutal fashion.
