The notion of "good intentions, bad execution" falls apart when the "bad execution" includes spreading a plague to kill tons of innocent people... twice. Seriously, her racism to dwarves and elves is complete nonsense.

You hate wolves or other creatures that prey on humans? That's fair. You hate elves because they're elves? That's racism which is not fair. You cannot dismiss this with "agree to disagree" because that applies to something like "I think strawberries taste bad" -> NOT RACISM.

This is a case of "started with good intentions but eventually, they became bad intentions." If she got a third life, her goal could eventually just become "end all life that I don't care about." How so? Well, "why does anyone need money if everyone simply obeys me?" And it goes downhill from here.

She isn't just racist against dwarves, elves, etc... she is racist against wolves and other species as well. It's gross putting an elf or a dwarf on the same level of a wolf or something -> and on top of that, she wants to drive them all to extinction...

Is she after our hamburgers, ya think? el oh and el

I think it's along the lines of "in this era, women were treated like property and it is SUPER COMMON for a princess to be used to gain a political favor." She knows this. She is in a desperate enough situation to be like "well, what else can I do?" and that's a fair question.

So like, what else can she do? Thinking about it...
She can try to escape this hostage situation and go back home, then rally up some resistance and/or create a rebel group to oppose her brother. Odds of success, like, 0.0001%...?
She can try mastering her powers and become a one person army with the help of her spirits, but she is not strong enough now and time is of the essence so by the time she is capable of that, it will be too late (this is assuming she can actually become that powerful).
After escaping, maybe go to another country and ask them for help instead? Their predictable response: "JACKPOT!"

Is there any other option? Realistically, no.

To be honest, I'd do the whole "secretly go and nuke them" tactic again.

There's no way the mage tower isn't gonna try applying the engine to other things. Like... are they really gonna keep using horses when they got engines?

I'm 2 weeks late, but I do wanna point out that there is no real evidence that COVID-19 was a bioweapon; political nonsense aside, I mean. You know what we do have that supports this rumor to being false? Literal bioweapons. If we, humans, wanted to make a bioweapon to kill people, then we wouldn't make something as weak as COVID with a tiny 2% death rate. Furthermore, to help support the fact that it wasn't a bioweapon, COVID-19 is the seventh coronavirus - named by their shaped btw - and none of the previous 6 were created in a lab nor did anyone ever try to claim that they were.

There were a LOT of conspiracy theories about COVID-19 because people were stuck at home, bitter and upset -> so they made stuff up, put it online with no evidence -> and almost all of it circulated. If you google it, you'll find stuff claiming "mounting evidence" that it was a lab leak -> look inside, no evidence.
I looked inside and uh...
"Comer: “Was there science available to make such an unequivocal statement against the possibility of a lab leak that early on in February of 2020?”
Witnesses Dr. Metzl, Mr. Wade, and Dr. Redfield all answered, “No.”"
This is asking "can you be 100% sure that it wasn't a lab leak?" Of course not because: as there is no evidence proving that it is <-> there is also no evidence proving that it wasn't. Safe to say, this question and answer aren't evidence of anything. Why? By the nature of science and scientists, the answer to a question like this can never be "yes." After all, this ain't math.

When you're so bloody stronk, you just go "SCREW THE RULES!!

This is when you report the website to the FTC and submit a complaint.

She should bring up the topic directly. Furthermore, she is aware that there is no blame or anger that can be directed towards him; he never courted her nor did he ever lie about his relationship status.

Is he gonna get them to say "okay, we forgive you" and then present the two heads saying "ah, I'm SO glad I'm completely forgiven."

In a real life and death battle, no one will stop the battle and disqualify you for kicking, punching, screaming or headbutting in a sword fight. The person whining about a fight being unfair will be dead in like two seconds, so do whatever it takes to win.

She's like half his age, so... yeah, he only won due to his experience.

So... selling weapons to rebels in another smaller country to stoke a war -> to sell more weapons -> to create more conflict -> to sell more weapons -> etc -> is treason?

Boy do I want to take the axe to several countries... or at least corporations.

Sigh... why do people take leadership positions if they look down on others?

Chocolate without sugar won't cause diabetes. Sugar already existed but people go out and do physical labor all day so they aren't really at the risk of developing diabetes. They could, however, be born with it which is a different topic... though, Mr. Main Character should invent insulin to help them out.

Before you dismiss Dark Mages as incoherent and unrealistic, keep in mind that there exist people IRL who are flat earthers. There are also anti-vaxxers and people who spend money on NFTs... so like, a Mage choosing to go into Dark Magic to pursue a unique and different kind of knowledge isn't really that stupid, is it?

By the way, I did google it and I learned that the Kola Tree is a thing and that's how some sodas are made.

Oh no. Royal Family inbreeding was indeed rampant. NotLikeThis

Hey advisor, you can just kill the king "for the people."
