| This was a long time coming. It's seriously about time that Alicia confronted Liz. I never liked Liz much in this show with her forced smile in public and her blend personality. She's around because of her ulterior motives at school. Can't stand her tears this episode either. It felt like Liz represents the opposite of Alicia in almost every way. |
 |
| God I’m so glad they finally confronted Liz and put an end to her annoying ass charm gimmick. They tried giving her a sob story explanation as to why she charmed people but I just don’t really care and am over her as a character. Thankfully everything all resolved now and we should have no more issues.(unless that memory loss thing at the end is related) But the audacity to say she hates Alicia because Prince nonce likes her instead is hilarious. It’s no surprise Jane acted the way she did with Carol/Alicia then, Liz had that same sort of insecurity which amplified the emotions of others around her. I will admit I felt an iota of sympathy when she brought up no one ever teaching her “how to be the saint” and expecting her to be perfect, but she still could’ve reached out for help. She was just drunk on the devotion and simping she got. Gotta give Duke credit though, flirting with Liz to get her to come along to meet Alicia and then looking at her like she was a dumbass for confessing to him is killing me 😂 Speaking of confessions, cat finally out of the bag with Duke confessing to Alicia. It’s a shame we wasted such a good villainess character like Alicia with this dude. She deserves a way better love interest. I reckon we’ll end off on Alicia responding to Duke and helping him get his memories back next week. This memory loss to get a character to realise their emotions trope has been used a lot lately. UY, Ranma and now this lol. Good to see Will back in the palace and with his brother! I thought he’d still harbour some hate, but looks like they’re on good terms. I wonder if the mages that he got banished with are the ones behind the memory loss incident along with the king’s mother? |

| Liz: I love you, Duke Duke: I love Emilia Alicia 😂😆 And, then... Duke forgot about Alicia just overnight!?? Okay, Alicia has only one episode to solve this problem. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Oh thank goodness there is a 13th episode. That would have been wild thing to end on. So this kind of confirms that Liz wanted Ali dead in my eyes, but I guess the awful charm is gone and she'll actually be a decent person now? So many possibilities. We saw the golden rose start to wither. Is the "game" (villainess otome reincarnation isekai) resetting itself? Is Uncle Will actually evil? Is the King actually Evil? Did Liz use a forgetting spell? Regardless, this will likely end in her exile and Duke proving his love. |

| wh-what? they are doing another thing that the duke lost his memories? there is one fucking episode left of the show you dumbos. and im not sure this will get a second season though i would like it. what did liz do to the book? it like fixed itself. i can only assume liz was aware of her manipulations and is behind this newest ordeal |

i think Liz did something specially with taking that book, and as every otome anime i think Liz had an isekai same as Alicia
| @2oe i hope thats not the case. how bland of a twist would that be. |

| I was confused by how Liz's case was resolved just like that. Everything seemed to be going well, but then we saw that in the end. I forgot that this anime is 13 episodes long. lmao My bet is it's caused by the other kingdom that keeps attacking Liz. There's no way they'd build that up and turn it into nothing. If it's really Liz, her character-building just becomes stupid and everything she says in these past episodes, especially this episode, doesn't mean anything. |

| @Indian_Otaku106 yes and how will they resolve this new problem in a sensical manner along with end the show within that one episode? |

| I was right about Liz’s ability to control people—everyone has finally returned to normal and will stop being her followers. Although I can’t entirely blame her, as Liz didn’t know about her charm ability, nor can anyone fault her for falling in love with Duke or disliking Alicia because of it. However, the fact that she took the book with her doesn’t sit well with me. It seems like she might not have decided to move forward on her own terms and could now start using her charm ability willingly. Maybe that’s even why Duke doesn’t remember Alicia. |
 |
| she's doing something with the Duke, and manipulate the duke, does it's cause of the book that she took it from Duke? let's see on the next episode. |
| As lame as it is I was hoping Alicia and Liz would end up being friends but there is no way it wasn't Liz learning about the extent of her powers from the book that caused that scene at the end. |
| Quite the cliffhanger. |
| All I have to say is if Duke stays "stuck" with this level of brainwash as a cliffhanger for season 2 I'm gonna RAGE. Hoping this resolves in the next ep/finale....I mean they don't have to progress to the "oh we [Alicia & Duke] love each other, we're getting engaged" level but at least him remembering who Alicia is again (at the end of this season) would be enough to satisfy me. |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| I knew something was off the moment Liz touched the book, and some strange effect happened to it. Now, we’re left with an intriguing cliffhanger. Most of Liz's charm over others—especially the "hot boy squad"—seems to have worn off, except for Duke, who’s fallen under her spell. That’s amusing in its own way. I wonder how Alicia will free him from Liz's grasp. Or maybe Duke is faking it for laughs, given Alicia hasn’t responded to his confession yet. But honestly, I doubt it. |
CottonModem said: 100% saw that shit coming when she took the book. Getting Remmed would be a pretty annoying way to end the season, so it's a good thing there's another episode. I'm assuming Alicia will have to resort to the extremely obvious "power of love" solution. To be honest, while it’s frustrating to see Duke end up in this situation, it’s also pretty funny. After all, Alicia was the one who told Liz to pursue her own happiness. If Liz is trying to steal Duke away, Alicia can’t exactly blame her for it. I trust that in the finale, Liz will embrace the role of the villainess while Alicia steps up as the heroine. The irony of Alicia defeating Liz with the "power of love" would be a hilarious way to end the season. Alicia will never live it down, acting like a typical heroine. |
| Liz is just an attention hog who manipulated Duke after she got a hold of that book. They shouldn't have trusted her, but oh well, there wouldn't be much of a story if they all just figured out that Liz is the actual villain of the story. |

For those that didn't notice, the book glowed funny when Liz was upset and holding it. I am 99% that she used it to learn how to properly control her power and now it's way more effective. I think the twist is that SHE is the villainess, not Alicia!
| @DexterLivingston I went and rewatched that part, and the book didn't glow when Liz held it in her arm, but it really looked as if it transformed and became renewed (@13:10±).  At 14:45± Liz says to Alicia: "I've thought so many times that if only you weren't around --" (she's cut off in mid-sentence as the rest of the gang appear). |

| Actually a very good episode, but that ending wth? What in the world are they even gonna do with just 1 episode left? Like I can't really see this playing out any other way than being a lame s2 cliffhanger or something. (I'm having flashbacks of Seirei Gensouki) The only other thing is to resolve it in 1 episode which tbh, I don't think is enough time to do anything other than make that whole "Who are you" pointless. Or maybe in episode 13, they do one of those "I was also Isekaied, and I'm your enemy" or something plots twists. But instead of Liz it's Mel, and she's like "Ali Ali, oh no your prince forgot you! Now be bad ass and take him back!" Probably not tbh, but would actually make her Alicia obsession more interesting, she still funny and fine as is tho. |
| ngl I'd be pretty awesome if it ended on this episode if it was certain they'd get another season, it would certainly make me more hyped for it |
| I'm sorry but... what the hell is that (episode) ending?? What's going on with Duke now? Only 1 episode left?!? This is one of my fav anime this season... I don't want it to end :'( |

| Ok no twists it was just charm aka brainwash power after all. I was half expecting Liz stuff to get resolved this way so not surprised. Sweet Duke x Alicia stuff but that ending though. That a joke? Hope no cliffhanger ending for this season. Also I expect Alicia to journey in other nations next. |

I'm sure the twist is she used it to figure out how to control her power properly and now it's way more effective. like, she's the real villainess of this story, not alicia It’s def not “clearly”. The book as pointed out by another user also doesn’t glow. |
