Review:
Amon goes to the Emperor and essentially arranges to be engaged to Briddy, not that she knows (he doesn't want her to be forced into it, which...okay...but it'd be nice for her to be part of the convo). Lart, who is now completely all in on Lucy, figures that this will help make things more peaceful when he's the Emperor. Meanwhile, Adellai is becoming more and more unhinged. She finds Joseph, a descendant of Barahan, and, with Philip's help (which I'm much more suspicious about than she is), arranges to magically control him. Then she makes an attempt on Briddy's life while Briddy is on a trip away from Amon's protection.
We have another Barahan-related dream in this volume. This one makes it look like the black divine beast didn't actually kill the goddess who looks suspiciously like Briddy, but was instead just there at the time of her death. A mystery... We also get a flashback to the Emperor's relationship with Briddy's mom (how in the hell did he manage to live with her for a year without anybody making him go back home??).
Philip doesn't seem like the type to tie himself too firmly to someone as obviously crazed as Adellai, but I suppose we'll see.
Lart was so awful as a kid, but now I really like how supportive he is of Lucy in the face of other nobles' rudeness.
