This week spoiler

How can it end like this noooooooooooo she was so nice. I mean there were a lot of death flags but still, I had hoped I was wrong.
I just liked the:
“What the person who isn’t a fighter does not want to defend her majesty? I know you just saved her life and that we have trouble with the population’s appreciation but you will get killed anyway? What could be wrong to execute someone that saves the Queen when some we already have low support.”
Good idea just kill everyone that helps you. ダミヤ is such a genius.189 IQ there.

On another subject, I just have one question.
「池の水が木の葉や泥で濁っていても、その中に泳ぐ魚だけを、過たずに捕らえる…」
I get everything except for the last part.
過たずに捕らえる
過つ = to err
捕らえる = to catch/to grasp
" even the water is stain/dirtied by a leaf of a branch, only the fish that swim in the middle without erring catch? "
Wouldn’t it be err without being catch err?
Maybe she is saying that イアル without doing anything is catch in a lot of things.
Anyone can help me?

Even if the water of the lake is dirtied/polluted/made unclear by leaves or mud, you can grasp the fish swimming in it without erring/fail’ is how I read it.

What a chapter. Oo

Woah. This chapter was intense. It escalated quickly with エリン refusing to do what was asked of her, and when it seemed to be getting to a more reasonable outcome…THAT happened! And ダミヤ doing his best to make sure I dislike him more each time.

In other news, I can’t believe they are once again not telling us what happened in that very long story. Setting up some high expectations there.
Btw understanding the very polite イアル was hard at times. All the polite stuff in general I guess.

Yeeeeessss… I had such high hopes this time :-/

By now I believe we will never find out what happened back then.

I don’t think we need to find out. The details aren’t really important in my opinion.

Agreed. That’s why I think we will probably never be told what it was.
It’s just that I‘m curious :woman_shrugging:
