----------------------------------------
I like how Nike is always stepping in to help people in need. On another note, what the hell is the King wearing LOL. Trap detected

I was not expecting Nike to get a kiss from someone else. And from this episode, I guess that means the King has a rival of his own. I don't like that new guy though, he's a bit too pushy especially towards Nike.

Umm, the atmosphere has changed?
The new guy seems to hide his thought about Livi and Livi's mother.
However, to be honest, I want to see Nike and Livi only.

She tries her best to take lessons. Lol @ little king being a little girl by force! Sakurai-san's character is the rival this time? Uncle? He's so talkative! He is so popular, though. King got mad just because she is with him.

Wow, that took a 360 degree turn in like 2 minutes.
Seeing Livi dressed as a girl ^^
Livi and Nike scared to go home after they ditched xD Quite happy to see them enjoying themselves.
An uncle that is really charismatic! Livi has a trust complex T.T Livi was scary and basically went back to his old self. I wonder how Nike would save Livi this time. Still though, that uncle bringing his nephew's wife to bed! Not liking his uncle since he caused this :O
And here I thought that Livi trusted Nike. Maybe he is just temporally blinded by rage.

Based on the PV, I'm guessing something else happened to between the duo from their past. In other words, it's probably more than just childish jealousy.

I should have looked at the PV. Glad it was nothing past jealousy. Since one of the elders thought that it was beyond jealousy. Watching the PV, nice to see Nike already talking to Livi. If it went the way I thought it would, I would be liking this anime less :O

The directors seem to make it a habit of undermining some of the emotional potential from scenes, little and big, by SD SD everywhere. Cheaper to animate, yeah, but there's a bit too much at times. Hard to take in the grand moments when the feel is similar to the usual HS shoujo manga and not a foreign kingdom (with all its mystery).

That said, I've missed this show and enjoyed this week; the last 2-5 minutes were especially great. Livi was genuinely terrifying, a tyrant of olde.

Why the fuck did Nike hang around the blonde guy's arms so long? Just force yourself off him. Livi's tantrum was a bit shocking but it still was a great moment.

It's not hard to tell that this anime wasn't given that big a budget to work off of. The audio quality is particularly bad. It's sad because this is one of the few shoujo series I actually like.

For once, Livius and Nike ditch the official duties together.
Livius as Nike's imouto looks nice with that girly outfit!

Those 2 thieves appears again.
Liked how Nike's very presence is bad news for them. XD

New character introduced; Prince Bardwin Cicil Ifrikia, Livius' dad's younger brother and thus his uncle.
Looks like he's a ladies' man!
How he went straight for Nike. Livius' jealousy aura though. XD

Liked how calm Nike was in that situation telling Bardwin off, since he didn't mean what he said.

Damn! Livius seemed to went too far at the end; intending to torture Bardwin and threatening Nike that he could burn down her whole country :O

Good episode. That was really unexpected from Livius, though his reason for rage is understandable; he went a bit too far..

Something probably happened between them in the past and Livius unusual attitude may be a reason for it.

Am I the only person who found the last scene somewhat cringeworthy?
Or is it just that my sceptic side was constantly telling me that this mess would quickly get resolved with a happy ending, thus undermining the effect of the drama because after all, this is fluffy shoujo, not a dark seinen.

You are supposed to, after all this is a person who has conquered most of the know world, the reason Nike was sent in the first place was to prevent a war (as explained in the first episode).

That said, just out of curiosity, has this show given you anything to think that Nike is a simple minded fool that could be swept off her feet by some two bit seducer or would be intimidated by the use of force?

You gotta be dumb to mess with one thing that is keeping the king sane! Everyone, including the "fiancee" from the previous episode, were terrified of Livius before he met Nike... Seriously, WTF was Bard thinking?!

The end of that was so ridiculous that I'm still laughing. The fucking dramatic burst in, and the greyscale slow-mo with the random out of nowhere blood splatter, followed by the world's weirdest desperate shouting zoom out. That was literally so bad it was good.

wow man talk about a nice shock...But it was predictable since he warned her so much to stay away from him and she basically just ignored him. Nice to see that everything isn't just smiles, flowers and happiness.

Me too. I think that the true intention of his actions were meant to test the loyalty of Nike. To see if he wouldn't be fooled in the future. But hey, you could do that with a very different approach don't you think Uncle Bard?

That forced reaction and drama. Overkill really. Score down to 6/10.
Also coming up with more suitable partners for both mains the last couple of episodes, then trying to prove that the mains are a better match for eachother is really not working out for me.

Bard is way better match for Nike, as was Luna for Livi. Going into drama queen mode wont help it for me. I hope the next episode redeems this one and the next arc maybe the show. It really deserves more.

Episode was fun and sweet, then this guy had to arrive and cause some maelstrom, and Livi went Yandere here.

There is some unfinished story between those two clearly, and it seems that is the reason why he exploded the way he did.

Oh God......

Ugh cliche drama... Bardwin is testing Nike's love/loyalty towards Livi.

Livi is envious/jealous of Bardwin's looks/abilities/popularity and he's also afraid of losing Nike to Bardwin.

The ending was kinda stupid... Nike could of knocked the guards out then grabbed Livi and explained... after slapping him once or twice... *evil grin*

Not to mention Livi was quite stupid here... the A in Adultery wasn't even visible... hell she wasn't even naked... hell she still had her panties on! There wasn't even a spec of evidence pointing towards adultery. *Facepalm*

Anyways whatever everything's gonna be fixed in the next episode or so. That's how this series is... predictable. She's probably gonna sing the problem away... not that I mind. I like Tender Rain it's a good song.

Seems like I underestimated Livi's Yandere level O_O that was max Yanderenss there. I honestly didn't like his reaction. We'll I can understand why he acted that way but he should trust Nike more. Why the hell did he pull her hair >~<...the problem is I think he knows she didn't do anything and just wanted a reason to keep Bard in prison and that's why I disliked how he treated Nike more.

I was honestly waiting for Nike to bitch slap him to snap out of it.

The rest wasn't bad. Bard is actually quite the nice guy. Or at least not the type I thought he'd be when I saw the PV. Loved how Nike told him to stop kidding when he was on top of her. BA :D

But really though, I'm loving Nike more and more by every passing ep. She's such an awesome character. And she looked beautiful in her dress <3
I wonder how she'll get Livi back to normal?

That's allot of lessons.

She's learning gypsy dancing?

"Let's ditch." I think Nike rubbed off on him :3

Lawl Nike made him cross-dress :P

Lol live was dancing well considering he was in a dress, I wonder if he's practiced before ;3

"Blah, blah, blah" and the way Livi was was being held back were great.

"Achoo!" Lol

He snapped. http://imgur.com/5aDQl3E

Now that's a burn.

Well he wasn't joking.

The last scene was only cringe worthy because it is completely out of place for a cute shoujo series. However, I don't see how it's forced in the slightest. Livi obviously feels inadequate when he compares himself to the more charismatic, Bard. He also has a reputation of being a womanizer, and had already boldly given Nike a kiss in front of Livi no less. Then he overhears someone say that she was being carried off by Bard. He finds them in a bedroom. Who wouldn't be steaming?

I actually enjoyed this episode because she didn't sing her shitty Engrish tender rain song.

I for once actually love the subtle hints about Livi's relationship with Bard in this episode like the three stooges.. hm.. council.. (about "is it just a mere jealousy" thing) and about the trust relationship that the maid told about.. Well, I think the 'Prime Minister arc' will end next episode.. Hoping they adapt it properly because that's where we got to see more of a characters' insight and some character development too..
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Ok, why do we have two male yanderes this season? Baldr from KamiAso was one thing but Livi going yandere was even worse. No, no no no no no!

I know there has to be a reason why he acted like that but the way he pulled her hair like that! BAD!

And Nike wasn't even like a stupid reverse harem MC just going 'ah'. She actually said something back to Bard many times. Geez, I know you have your issues Livi, but trust Nike more!

The new guy has really long hair and a bit annoying personality, bleh. I want to cut his hair! I guess, the writer has everything right in hand to make us keep shipping the main couple xD

Livius as a girl xD The flashback wasn't really needed with that music to add.

Livius being childish was hilarious xD The new guy is really a jerk, or maybe not. I still want to cut his hair though... Loved Nike this episode. Livius on the other hand.. trust her a bit...
