IIRC 1 update left and no ep6.
Yeah, it's unlikely he will disagree....doesn't change that making Sharon the new Quaestor is just dumb, especially so if his rule is weak.
Also if we take the MC's plan, his role in it and the rumors about him it would make way more sense to give him that position...
Sharon is at best a liability for the Princeps in that role, neither does it bring any advantages for them if she gets the position.
But yeah, i don't expect any surprising turns at this point. Compared to how rushed the ending is and how bad he handled the whole ancient plot, this is rather unimportant.
Also found it strange of how adamant the MC is about that can't leave the town because of the ancient. The deal was, he will bring her a happy meal once a year, thats it... the girl sure as hell doesn't need any protection, nor did she demand anything else and if some others try go down there it just means more food for her, why would the MC care..as i see it he can uphold his deal and the other 364 days he can be wherever he wants to be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
