Another plot heavy episode that answers some questions, but introduces even more. We now know what happened fifteen years ago in terms of the baby switch, and they seem to be telling us that Arika is the real princess. I still have my doubts about her being the princess - it’s possible that there was another switch sometime or that the sapphire got transferred - but it does seem unlikely now that Arika is Rena’s daughter, which had been another previous theory. In either case, Mashiro’s not the real princess, though I still have a slight hunch that Nina might be.

I not so sure, I honestly think it is Nina. Like ShanaFlame said there could have been another baby switch. But, who knows. Alot of things are going on right now. Very, very good show.

What? I thought it was certain that Arika was the princess.
Nina looks like Rena. Rena was the Otome of the queen right. So Nina is the baby of Rena and Arika the princess.
Can't figure where Mashiro fits to the picture.

That green haired girl went too far this time. Putting men to rape Arika.

This forum thing is funny and lovely though, lol. When I read insan comment to aero which was before that by coupe of months when aero must have known the whole thing. I'm putting my comment now after 6 years of that. It's weird while great though. I only knew this before less than a month or so !
Anyway, the show is interesting. Still not Mai-Hime quality, but the beginning of this was more acceptable.

Is this girl an idiot? When they’re done raping her (assuming they succeed), there’s going to be an investigation launched. Then, they’re going to find out who put them up to it, and then Miya’s gonna squeal about the other chick.

Unless she has some kind of ultimate blackmail that will not only scare her into remaining silent but being willing to serve a sentence for conspiracy to commit rape and various sexual assault charges...she’s going down.

Assuming the legal system is similar to the modern ones today.

It’s the worst possible plan you could think of. They should have blindfolded her or drugged her. There are so many better ways to do this and dramatically reduce the chance of being caught.

But I guess that’s what happens when you’re too much of a pussy and leave it all up to a bunch of random, one-track thugs.

There is no way she is getting out of this without getting caught.

Also, Arika is the princess, I guess. The brown hair kind of seals the deal. Nina is the daughter of the otome, and Mashiro is:

a) A body double, or
b) The minister’s child
c) Obviously from a different country. No one has white hair like her in Windbloom.
d) The king’s mistress’s child
e) Arika’s twin sister who has white hair because magix

Who can say? Mashiro is still the best character in this show.
