I'm not a fan of forced stupidity when it comes to MC actions as a plot device. Amelia knows all the secret ways out of the castle if she wanted to sneak out after he dropped her off at the castle she could, this would have been more beleivable IMO.I'm sorry but not bring Amelia back to the castle is just not believable. As it was happening, yo could tell that she would never make it back. He actually said to the king ''Would you rather I let her go out without a bodyguard?'' when he DID let her do that. Even the flirting and galivanting in the city was pretty unbelievable. Any number of people could have recognized her as the princess, and even you as the princess's bodyguard and put 2 and 2 together.
Our MC has full knowledge of Taron's nature, his influence in the palace, his presence within the city and his determination to get at the MC. It's beyond belief that the MC would be so casual and lax in his precautions until he gets the job done. How does he ever expect to get his revenge acting this way!? Has he always acted this stupidly?
The update actually ends with the MC saying ''Believe it or not, it's not the first time Taron has hurt someone to turn them against me''. He is so close to realizing ''Holy shit. I'm so dumb to keep falling for this.''
Regardless, I love this avn and despite a few minor nitpicks it's great fun, I'm just itching at the lack of action scenes since returning from the pirate arc of the storyline, hoping it picks up a bit soon.
