It's clear that Marrine is about to bring the total might of the Alliance to affect the Spousal relationship, and they offering a truce and negotiations, ceding the strategic initiative and getting Villar killed, at which indicate their leaders all the same try to negotiate a peace treaty. Villar and Alexis themselves play this for tragedy: They know what'south most to happen, merely pass up to have the offensive because they love Marrine too much, even though they know that she has no such scruples.
• Helmets Are Inappreciably Heroic: When Aishela kills several Faceless Goons in episode ii, they're existence led Peter, who isn't wearing a helmet. Naturally he survives while many of his men are cut down by her, and she spares his life considering she thinks he'southward cute.

However, she is kind, always polite and ultimately has the best of intentions with her actions. Her dislike of the Social club is besides caused past the friction between the Mage's Association and the Order, as Mages view Crests as a manifestation of the user'due south volition while the Club views them as a gift from god and should be controlled by the Guild.
  • Moreno is your average haughty mage besides as a Servile Snarker but he'southward truly loyal to Lassic and wants to put him on the throne.

There are kings who only accept viscount level crests, and knights whose crests declare them to be earls.

• Revealing Encompass-Up: Siluca figures out that the Mage Academy is responsible for the Bully Hall Tragedy when they execute the Blackness Witch for it almost immediately.
