I just hope they’re strategic about where they place the exits. An underground train system offers all the benefits Arthur mentioned, but if the enemy discovers the tunnels, they could use them to transport troops and invade the cities. It’s a double-edged sword, and they need to do everything they can to avoid that edge turning against them.

I feel nothing—does that make me heartless? Honestly, I was a bit disappointed there wasn’t more ecchi. I read this hoping they’d explore the idea of shared sensations during pain or intimacy more deeply. It’s a shame that potential wasn’t explored more in-depth.

So the saint candidates all have black hair and black eyes, and the MC is an albino. Does that technically make her a black albino?

same here brother

Lio better watch her back. She can't just be kissing another's man man right in front of him like that. https://i.postimg.cc/gkL9Drr8/i.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/904kJNXC/i.jpg

Sometimes, I wish they would be a little smarter instead of collapsing like an idiot. But honestly, there was no way out of this mess either way—and so far, it's been absolutely glorious.

The secondhand embarrassment from reading this chapter has been absolutely legendary.

Too bad for Pina that Remilia had already taken precautions by warning the demon king about ingredients that could be used against demonfolk.

If the crops that feed the general populace end up ruined because the prince actually listened to Pina's advice, will they have no choice but to turn to Remilia to buy crops from her? Maybe even go so far as to offer her an apology for exiling her?

Did no one from the royal family have any real interest in keeping tabs on Remilia? Even if they assigned knights to shadow her, they must have known—and reported—that she was regularly leaving the kingdom for extended periods. And yet no one thought to investigate why she was gone or what she was doing? Even if their scouts couldn’t keep up with her, they should have at least caught wind of rumors about her meeting the first princess of the dwarven kingdom or her very public feats like calming water dragons and slaying beasts. For heaven’s sake, she was traveling from land to land building a reputation as a "true saint," and even commoners had heard rumors that she tried to kill her fiancé’s lover. But somehow, none of this made it back to the royal family—or even to her former fiancé, the prince.

Why did that one demon merchant have elven ears but the rest of the demon folk have human ears?

How would destroying the world benefit you? What would be the point in that?

My eyes are burning. But it was so funny.

If Laurun was so concerned about the knights holding it over his head that his actions led to the death of an apprentice knight, then why go and intentionally kill Najin? Unlike Jiroon, whose death could be considered a tragic mistake, Najin’s death was deliberate. Honestly, Laurun’s lucky Nagyunn wasn’t around to call him out on that.

alas I am all caught up. That was a ride.

Nagyunn still seriously needs to work on developing a killer instinct. Without the resolve to end a fight decisively, he's just setting himself up to be killed instead. Even if he doesn’t think his attacks would be fatal, he could at least aim for critical areas—arteries, the neck—like the general suggested. Hesitation in a situation like that is dangerous. If it hadn’t been for that convenient plot device, Nagyunn would’ve been dead.

Don't tell me this is Luz because this straight up looks like a man https://i.postimg.cc/NfvV1L3H/i.jpg

Good man. Now let me borrow this.

There are several reasons someone might commit a crime, even knowing there's a high chance of getting caught. When it comes to theft, I can think of three main types of people: the fearless, the foolish, and the desperate.

The fearless know they could live honestly—they might even have the means to do so. But the temptation of living lavishly, even briefly, by stealing from someone wealthier is too great. They’re willing to take that risk, knowing full well the consequences.

The foolish might struggle to keep a job. Maybe they have difficult personalities, can’t take direction, skip work, or gamble their earnings away. When the money runs dry, theft becomes their fallback.

And the desperate—these are the ones that tug at your heart. Maybe someone born into poverty builds a loving family, only for tragedy to strike. Imagine a parent with a sick child, needing urgent, unaffordable treatment. That parent might steal—not for greed—but out of love and survival.

What I won’t do, though, is place full blame on an institution meant to protect society just because it isn't perfect. Without systems like that, we'd be left with anarchy and lawlessness.

That said, I do believe the knightly order needs to evolve. It should be more formalized and institutionalized, with clear standards that everyone—both knights and civilians—can understand. Right now, many knights act on personal ideals of what it means to be a knight, which leaves too much room for dangerous interpretation. That kind of unchecked autonomy is exactly what led to the massacre of the Dragon’s Descendants.

If there were universally accepted codes of conduct in place, it would be much easier to hold individual knights accountable when they cross the line—rather than blaming the entire order for one person’s mistake.
