Grand duke is usually left to people who the country can't deal without and thus "honorary". This means they can't exert influence, but can't be influenced by anyone but king. (magician sage, unparalleled tactician, heroes, pope)
Grand duke is also a position given to non-succeeding member of royalty, non-inheritable.

It varies to aristocratic structure, but that's usually what is seen

Everyone has their own personal taste. Things that taste like shit, still taste like shit. I was merely informing <fbi> that even just bread (not moldy) would be better than food that individuals find distasteful.
Personally, on a side note, I can guarantee that even if I had (slightly) moldy bread I'd still pick it over sausage. Yes, I've eaten moldy bread and sausages before

Originally the watcher cat placed the materials needed for the startup.
Then, when he made the deal to sell via an organization, he trades the wares for materials plus money.
After helping the gatekeeping noble with the brother issue, he is promised information on ores at a higher classification than iron.
While waiting for information to procure higher class ores, the merchants sends over the mithril ore received by a customer to create the rapier.

This is all the instances of procurement thus far

it's the glasses. When he channels the power into them it shows the answers in detail. A skipped lesson is still one that has been gone through, just on fast forward

If he uses ANY knowledge of the future, it twist the future. This is one of my qualms with the knowledge aspect of novels. The MCs try so hard to prevent the downfall that they end up taking opportunities/items from others, but it changes their fate thus changes the future. Then complain half the story about how they don't want to affect the future. Even by preventing disasters, it would lead to changes. This novel even rewards him for the change so why resist the system

Easiest way to put it
rose was going through revolution (killing nobles and royalty)
Throughout wars rose civilians remains hostile to authority (imagine fighting for your country to become better and foreigners invade)

Nez fights rose -> mc fights nez
Only private soldiers are engaged in war

I will personally charge into the enemy base myself to prove my loyalty with an ambush

So we aint gonna talk about how it's advantageous to run away now that he's been in contact?
Or the fact that he's been locked up the whole time so he should have no country pride
Especially after they couldn't gain an edge until he took command which guarantees the win if he leaves

a trained horse is typically easy for anyone to mount. So it's basically returning a calvary their most important tool

Lol... Was gonna say now he looks like his correct species but you had to take it a step further and make it funny

if you want incest or interspecies wait 10 more years lolll

revenge isn't his priority... His family is

That dude yells too much to be participating in any escape plan

I mean... We say "wow, he's a dick!" but when you actually think about it, he was raised by being thrown in dangerous areas. When he's finally grown up, he is told you aren't good enough even though you could wipe the team. Not to mention, she allowed herself to be put in danger 2x because of a priest she knew she never should have taken. Which she is like a mother to him
also as a side note she abandoned a guy who clearly had abandonment issues from the beginning

this was judicial execution. The main character may have held some cards, but none of them were the smoking gun to be more than just hearsay. How do you punish someone who is caught for killing and torturing nobility (nobility of this level would be supreme court member for USA, btw).

lol... ever seen the victim pull the trigger for the legal justice? Never happens to prevent cruel execution. ie give smaller dose to suffer longer in this case

well... this WILL trigger him to get stronger... but now one has to question if he'll walk the dark path, or if the other guy is like MCs father

I've thought since getgo he will be the most reliable... He'd probably fall in love with MC at first sight if he found out everything she did for him... which would obviously push him harder to keep his love out of danger

why does mom need to be dead? can't she be captured, turned, or a traitor?

studies show that people of different ethnicity have a hard time accurately identifying each other
studies show that the accuracy of eyesight drops significantly after 10 feet even more so in dark
purposeful false testimony has been recorded throughout the ages for revenge, coercion, or monetary purposes
unless a witness has perfect idiosyncrasy of audibles its impossible to use sounds as identification
smells are too vast to actually pinpoint a unique individual because smells are an area wide effect, not individual

witnesses are unreliable without other credible evidence to go in tandem with testimony

was literally about to type this but popped up first
