Got the emotions this episode. Nike really starting to care for and the discrimination against those from other ethic minority countries was horrible, to get that from the priest was unexpected. Nice to see Nike go into the trial but never realistically expected them to let it go along smoothly.

This show really doesn't do anything out of the ordinary but Nike's a cool protagonist and that alone makes this worth watching for me.

It was looking easy when she got the ring case, but voila there is no ring inside! Those priest... Putting on a cliffhanger!

Seriously can't wait to see all of them dealt with and Nike comes back safely.

The ambush at the end was pretty predictable. I really enjoyed that background though for the King. The little girl telling Nike about all the things she wasn't meant to hear was really cute. xD We gotta keep that tough image going- you know what I'm saying? xD But hearing from the maid and the children that he's changed a lot was really heartwarming. I'm really digging the main theme for this anime. So beautiful. ;)

I guess just beheading those priests for insulting the king and go on with engagement is not an option in this anime;/
I mean lol he just openly said somthing like, kings mother was a slut and he is not worthy to be the king, any normal king would just execute such guys;

Why did they skipped chapters?
Chapters about how Nike go around and make rain fall for the people's farm, the girl who likes Livius. If I remember correctly, this should happen before the ring's event.

I found it amusing how Nike got so hyped into marrying Livius. Guess age gap doesn't matter to her?

And those damn priests! They're just a some kind of religious organisation, to use such underhand methods.

Oh by the way, I like how they keep changing & adding stuff into the OP. Guess every episode's Op will be different?

it obviously won't happen, but there's a small(very small) piece of me that wants the assassination to succeed just so I could watch Livius abolish the priesthood and execute every one of them.

I'm rather enjoying this series so far, though :)

I just watched the first 4 episodes and this is an awesome shoujo anime, I haven't seen a good shoujo anime in a long time. I don't understand why I was hesitant about watching this.

Obviously Nike survives the ordeal but I want to know how right now, I guess I'll start reading the manga right now.

Damn, Livius and Nike relationship is so sweet, I feel like drowning in cuteness xD

Of course, there was no fucking ring. And even worse, there's a bunch of sneaky killer. How she'll defeat them? I don't have a clue since she said that she can't use her wind power.

She was cute in that dress.

That priest seem really vicious. It doesn't really surprise me that they have even more power than the King. It's was also like that, in the middle age, religion could excommunicate a King if they believed he was dangerous for them.

It is an obvious trap from the very start =3=
Anime really likes their priests to be bad, huh.

Darcsen said:
Anybody else getting the feeling that the ring that the King gave her, is the actual ring that Nike needs to pass the ritual?

Maybe.
Also, dude, you should be the one putting it around her neck. Don't ask her to do it herself =_=
Sorry, but I just can't buy the romance. It's just not developed properly in my opinion, and they really just don't look good together. It feels awkward, man.
I will read the Manga someday, because it might change my mind.

I was expecting some Indiana Jones shit in the temple but none.. Kinda disappointing lol..

I wonder how she'll get out of this situation.. With the air being stagnant, she can't use her powers at all..
Interesting to see how she'll handle them..

For Christ sakes dude. You are the damn king and conquered most of the world and you care about a few priest. Just slaughter the lot of them like a boss.

Anyway that trap was so expected it can't even be called a trap.
I guess she can just replace the ring with the one he gave her but how is she gonna fight those guys when she can't even use the wind as she said.

I still don't really get why Nike is so OK with this forced marriage and why she's trying so hard. It's not like the two love each other or anything.

This continues to amaze me, I like how they changed the OP like 4 times, add more characters in to it in the order they were introduced in the anime. The ED is great with the little mirror showing the characters in movement and putting the names and the voice actors name. It reminded me of 2000's soap operas and stuff lol.

Awesome episode. The art is really beautiful and i never noticed but I kinda like the OP. Also the fact that the king was trying really hard to be charming in front of Nike was funny.

They went into depth of how the Church abused the marriages in medieval times. This is quite the romantic anime however. I would like to see this develop in future episodes. And quite the cliffhanger here. But it was kinda obvious that there would be no ring there. I was honestly expecting a trap or a scorpion.



Another problem beckons the princess. Losing 5 kilograms. Wonder how she is gonna do that.

Yeah. It has probably something to do with the fact that the priests were bullshitting from the start.

Extra fact:
It is not possible to go against the religion in medieval times. Part of the reason is that unlike kings, churches have widespread influence and connections. Trying to slaughter them can earn you the ire of the people. In the times when commoners worship the faith, it is gonna be tough for you if you try to go against their will. Besides, the king was trying his hardest to not be shown as a tyrant.

Think of it like this. You are the ruler of the Sun kingdom and you suddenly go against the Sun faith priests. What will happen? You will be subjugated to rumors that you are a devil and an enemy of the nation. Best case scenario: your nation rebels against you, and each of your foreign conquests will attain independence and come after you. Worst case scenario: Even your bodyguard will be ready to kill you at any moment.

Weird. This episode's preview had Nike saying "I don't follow orders and you better accept that!", which was a line i was very interested in seeing the scene of, yet it didn't come this episode at all?! WTH lol??!!

also, for supposedly a "child genius", he sure was really stupid this episode. He let his beloved in this extremely dangerous path without a single support, while knowing that the priest hated both him and her and could very well be planning something too. If I was in his spot i would have waited to start the ceremony a couple weeks while sending secret searchers to discover the other entrances, then both informed her of their location and sent secret helpers from the discovered entrances to watch her and make sure no harm happens to her.

if i were him i would have just arrested them for treason as part of conspiracy to kill hes mother and attempted murder of himself (from that hate it was clear they are part of it specially after the end), a king can easily do that if he really wants, sure its a tyrants tactic but sometimes its necessary, what a scandal servants of god and doing something like that

if u dirty their name like that first there is no uprising from religious citizens neither, and after that execution to silence them permanently
