Richard and Henry has quite a character chemistry in this particular episode imo. Doesn't seem like they both know each other but they were able to connect based on their situation.

Henry in particular was able to tell Richard what it means to be himself. Also, looks like Elizabeth is haing an affair.

The fate of Richard and Henry is one of intrigue, yet at this stage there's none as of yet amidst the secret meetings in the woods.

It's just absurd how Richard is used as a mouthpiece for Edward to cover his affair with Elizabeth, indeed this is a part of the many secrets of the House of York.

The obsession of Henry towards Richard that's one of salvation, they share a chemistry that is unspeakable, though in close relation between a man whom has womanly charms and an intersex whom has both but fears reprisal. Richard revealing his demon child story to Henry which wasn't pleasant, but how you could tell that obsession turned into affection was that theur situations connected each other unknowingly. And that has to be documented by Edward of all people, he knows part of it.

The damnation of Elizabeth as Edward's wife, that must've been a shock to everyone. How will everyone take this news?

They know their fruits as much as they know their identities.
Also, love that theres atleast one scene in each episode shot in what looks like watercolors, I love that for them.

Henry is something I still can't understand and looks like his son is interested in Richard too.

I haven't read Shakespeare's play but how accurate is this story and relationship wise? Changing Richard to intersex most likely is going to add in a lot of extra drama. Henry should have been a middle-aged dude but looks kinda young based on his character design (even though he has a teenage son).

my opinion of the anime goes up with every episode (though perhaps i'm finally getting used to the animation & getting drawn further into the story). all i want is for richard to be happy, but the dramatic irony of them not knowing who the other is... yikes. also i think edward kinda sucks and the decision to marry elizabeth instead of honoring his commitment to warwick & france is not going to do him any favors. hoping to see where things go from here !! i'm rooting for you richard !!

So excited about this episode.
My score gained 1 point with it.
It hit my every sweet spots, Dark, Sad, Rainy mood, Romance/Seduction and drama.
Richard and Henri attraction is really palpable.
I also enjoy Edward moment, I can feel the fight with his father coming !
But my fujoshi side kinda dread the female part of Richard.
I just hope he-she will not turn fully female. Sorry.

What if he marries more than one?

Edward getting married surely will cause a lot of problems, I wonder what'll happen if he rejects that proposal from France

Some interesting chemistry between Henry and Richard though, with the obsession becoming mutual adoration between the two

By the time the story takes place the Vatican didn't allow polygamy anymore.
Edward could've taken her as a concubine but I suppose he absolutely wants her to be his official consort.

Henry actually found Richard! lol

Both father and son love the same boy. Except, the son thinks the boy is a girl.

Edward (of Lancaster) kissed Richard in his sleep! Creepy! lol

Edward (of York) actually got married to a Lancaster lady while also getting engaged to a woman from France. That can't be good!

Richard seems to be falling for Henry. I wonder how he'd feel when he learns the truth about Henry.

Good, really enjoyed this episode. I like the story this series is telling but i'm still not sold on the way it’s being told. I wish they would slow down a bit because this has so much potential if they pace it properly.

It's amusing how Richard misunderstood who gave him CPR and was initiating a kiss already. And the surprised face of Warwick when Edward announced his new wife, I laughed so much! xd I mean the man was about to commit murder right there.

Might end up checking out the manga after this ends.

I had to cringe the whole episode.
I wasn't aware of it before and got to know just recently that it's a harem. I'm not a fan of harem they make me cringe. I thought it was gonna just focus more on the empires and battles but looks like it's the other way around. But I'll stick to it till the end since it's still dark themed.

Why does it look like Richard doesn't know Henry's real identity? I thought he got to know his real identity when those soldiers found Henry during that scene.

The animation is really average but I do like those painting type still frames.

Great episode! I really liked the scenes between Richard and Henry as Richard now feels that he is at least needed as a friend by somebody. Edward has introduced his wife...

Looking forward to the next episode!

Watching this made me turn to a fujoshi again after many years I've stop being one xD
Richard is going to get really shock if he know Henry is actually his family enemy King...

Oh no.... Richard oldest brother is going to make French angry and might make a new enemies because of that...
He should just tell Warwick about it... Poor Warwick already arrange an engagement but it's all just a waste.

Henry and Richards relationship is so uncomfortable. Why are you obsessed with a guy who's the same age as your son 💀 plus hes married.

edward has officially sealed his fate in the end there. for (imo) the worst. richard's spidery-senses were going off about elizabeth even tho he doesn't know why (yet methinks). poor warwick. all that hard work. he can still save all that hard work...uhh.... maybe depending how things goes. of all the female characters that's been introduced thus far, i say anne is a favorite atm. even through the times were back then, eff all the people were prejudice against richard who knew about his body. it hurts that richard hates himself and thinks he doesn't deserve love because of it. henry is literally too pure to this world.

Richard and Henry make such a cute couple. The brightness Henry provides and the darkness but also kindness Richard brings to their union is 😍😍😍

Richard and Henry together makes my heart flutter. Richard, who is plagued by his gender and past, is cautious around Henry. While Henry wants to avoid kingdom and seeks out Richard who brings him comfort. How sweet.

As for King Edward, at least he has announced his marriage status publicly. Things are likely to turn bad and I look forward to it.
