Just watched the English Dub, the way they say Georgine…

This is the type of episode I've been wanting this entire season. This episode feels like the anime took a moment to just breathe. Some people might complain that even this episode did too much, but I think it's reasonable, considering the rest of the season.

I wonder if they rushed through so much other stuff in other episodes just so that they could give Georgine's visit more time to push the plot forwards.

One thing I liked about this episode is that, at the beginning, Georgine, talking about Rozemyne, insults Sylvester's bad parenting, especially his laziness, leaving her to be raised by Ferdinand. And then, at the end of the episode, Georgine is proven right, but it was Wilfried. Wilfried was indeed raised extremely poorly, and that's why he made the mistake in saying his farewells to Georgine, and the underlying reason for that is very related to Sylvester's attitude about leaving all of his work to other people.

This type of thing is so important to good storytelling. The protagonists are not perfect, and sometimes they're extremely flawed. The antagonists are fully fleshed out, thinking individuals. Sometimes, when you really think about a well-written story, you realize that literally the only reason the protagonists are seen as the good guys is that the story is written from their perspective, and that if the story was written from the opposite perspective, you'd believe the other side was the good guys.

You have to check out Zilbagias the Demon Prince: How the Seventh Prince Brought Down the Kingdom. This series is blurring those lines in such an interesting way.

Ferdinand has long since figured out that the easiest way to deal with a teary Myne is to make her mad . . .
