Looks like things have turned into a love triangle, and we find out Tabitha's past and her real name :O

Tabitha's back story was pretty interesting, but I found it weird that her mother drunk the potion, instead of just throwing it away (since she obviously knew it was dangerous).

Also, I wonder for how long, that potion Louise drunk, will last.

This episode was really good! I didn't wnat it to end. :P I find it unusual, too, that Tabitha's mom wouldn't just throw the potion & have the aristicrat thrown in jail. The tub scenes with Siesta were funny. XD I'm wondering if the potion that Louise drank is a love potion or a truth potion? She loves Saito anyway, I think, so a truth potion could work too.

Her sacrifice highlighted what the royals were doing, so direct assassination attempts had to cease. It was her way of protecting Tabitha. Now, the royals can only send her on dangerous quests in an indirect attempt to hurt her, although she looks like she can handle herself.

This episode was the best so far in my opinion. Some laughs, some more love interest development and some great character development (Tabitha and Kirche). Also, Siesta didn't exactly hinder the episode either!

Louise under the influence of this potion will be hilarious...

She had no proof that it was harmful...so if she just threw it away she wouldn't have anything to pin down the aristocrats who gave it to Tabitha.

Well that was stupid...why didn't her mother had an "accidental" slip to yank the drink out of her daughter's hand and maybe spill it? Or I don't know, any other "intentional" little accident. Unless it's sort of like compulsion magic to drink when you hold the glass...

Lots of people drinking things they shouldn't have in this episode. Also, just as a tip, if you want to be a successful assassin you probably should not hand your target a poisoned drink and then grin like a crazy person.

I really liked this episode, most the episodes start off pretty boring but by the end of them i just want to watch more!

I'm intrigued to see if Saito gets the chance to go back, and if he takes it.

Siesta is definitely best girl in this anime so far, followed by the queen.

Was that potion a truth serum or an aphrodisiac? ;)
I guess we'll know next episode.

Anyway, Tabitha had a pretty shitty past. Kinda sad that she feel like she have to agree with every order the king send her.

I'm starting to notice that there is some kind of medieval politic going in that show. I wonder how far they will push it.

Why the hell would Tabitha's mother drink that stuff? Oo I don't get it.
Siesta is a good girl and Saito is a lucky guy (like most harem MCs). Kirche is sweet how she sleeps with Tabitha like a mother ^^

Right now I like Saito's relationship with Siesta more than Louise, but I like them as just friends. Romantically I still prefer him with Louise, so at least watching him interact with either isn't really that frustrating.

Made me really appreciate Kierche and Tabitha's characters more. I really like Kirche when she's not hitting on Saito or antagonizing Louise, she has a gentle and caring side too. :)

Louise Françoise was at her absolute peak of tsundere-ness here, first kicking out Saito from her horse for some lewd acts of him, then went full tsundere at the end of the episode with the "I love you so much" thing, how can't you love that girl. On the other hand, Saito doesn't give a damn about criticising Louise's breast.
This anime is just pure gold.
