Seems the royalty has high expectations for Eliana. I'm not surprised given the relationships she's built with important characters in recent episodes, and of course, Christopher.

This episode felt like it was also a test to see what Eliana can be when she's under pressure and somewhat being judged in the eyes of the Royal Family.

What Queen said to our heroine may seem a bit harsh at first, but she meant well, and she's right, Elianna is about the be a crown princess and with that position comes completely another level of dangers for her. Still, The Queen seems like a nice and caring person.

This episode was spicy, political spicy, with all the ruling concerns.

The Queen is great, that had to steel her heart to fight the snakes inside the kingdom.
But more important she likes Elli.

Romantic love can also be politics when things go awry, as such with the case of Glen and his Gentleman's Agreement on marriage plans. And jokes aside, Elianna preparing for the Holy Night's Banquet with the clothes she'll wear that's fitting for the crown princess, she's spoilt for choice. That's when her mother, the Highness Queen Henrietta steps in to help her make the decision, and implants in her what she needs to do to solidify her position alongside Christopher, which Theodore will drop all formalities once he is on the throne...except that this created the faction of Theodore, Christopher and neutral parties.

The crown princess, or a concubine, Elianna really is struggling to come to terms. And in front of Lady Eisenach, Christopher really put on a show to showcase his relationship with Elianna. As for the nobles withstanding one after the another, one caught Elianna's eye, and design of which it ripped off her idea of the Yule flowers with disdain, this Lady Dauner and her daughter Matilda. Surely, this may be the Queen's testing of Elianna about how she would ride this situation, and this will prove if she has the willpower to face adversity.

Things are slowly unraveling one after another, and NGL, it feels like Elianna's troubles just started popping.

I know Eli eventually has to toughen up but part of me wants her to stay sweet. Either way, I’m enjoying this show

it pales a little compared to the drama of earlier episodes but i think its supposed to be a set up for the next arc, which i can somewhat forgive, but I dislike how the main girl is still sort of stuck in that clueless starstruck and helpless phase i thought she already worked though. Shes a smart girl and her prince keeps reminding her to be confident, i wish she would stop being such a bystander in her own life and take some actions already. I guess i can chalk it up to her keeping up the decorum associated with her title and trying to think about her actions carefully before making her fiance and the royal family look bad. So i guess a commoner like me just wouldn't understand, haha

lol eli blushing to even call the queen mom.

damn that must be a lot of pressure to choose a dress out of that many options.

eli needs a bit of guidance from queen and she'll be ready to be the princess.

Now this episode, I liked a lot, showing us the responsibilities that come with being a noblewoman, let alone a princess, spies among the maids, and how Eli isn't really ready yet to take on the role of Queen. The Queen might end up being my favourite character from this anime.

A bitch can steal a design but they can never 100% execute the stolen designs flawlessly. The colors Matilda chose are so ugly put together that they clash. Especially that green. And the neckline of the dress only reminds me of a clown costume and is not even pretty to look at. It could also be the bitch wearing the dress doesn't even suit the dress one bit. Looking back at the original design and colors, it had such a soft yet elegant color and tone to it. The lace would have been such a nice touch to the dress. Elianna would have looked so elegant and beautiful in the dree with her changes and the original colors of it. She should call out the bitch for stealing her design and punish the one who leaked it in the first place.

Elianna probably realizes that anyways. Remember the bit a few episodes in regarding Christopher's relationship with Henrietta after she returned to the castle after her illness?

Being tough doesn't mean someone is incapable of being a sweet or compassionate person. Elianna is perfectly capable of being a sweet and kind person without being weak. It's just not something that comes naturally to her so she needs those around her to help her grow in that direction.

Of course, I’m talking more about becoming hardened like the queen is.

Elianna has got to learn how to survive in the Royal Family since Chris can't be with her 24/7. She has moles beside her and she needs to be careful of what she speaks and says. Living in Royal Family isn't going to be smooth. Instead, it is a path of thorns of betrayal. She needs to learn it and Chris' mom seems to have a way to make her understand that. Also, that letter from Pearl Princess is quite suspicious.

What a strong character Queen Henrietta is, glad to see her.

My guess is Eli will ultimately impress everyone with her Holy Night's Banquet dress in the end. It will be of a design that states she is ready to face everything that comes with marrying royalty.

Queen Henrietta is a really good character. She may seem harsh at first but she's supportive of Eli and is doing what's best for her.

I like the queen so far, underneath that strict attitude is a caring person. A perfect rolemodel for Eli to learn being more wary of the people she interacts with.

God, I just love how the Queen is able to handle her own. The creator really went in on making her a mature and admirable woman. I'm envious.

Thinking about all Elianna has had to go through and the amount of knowledge that's in her head, she is--quite literally, an airhead. And at this point, it has gotten a little annoying to me. I'm talking like I don't know what happens, lol. But still, I wish she would really dig deep inside herself and get to realize that she can stand up for herself. She can be like Christopher's mother. It's just that she needs a thicker skin, some more back bone, SOMETHING...

~ End rant.

This episode was alright.
