No way man, it may not have been action packed like some of the other chapters, but I think this chapter is critical to the telling of the story. Although, I wonder what the coldness in the eyes of the princess was all about, could it be that she has a jealous streak, and the thought of someone taking advantage of our pilot angers her that much? Or.. perhaps something more sinister? Hhhhmmmmm.

Was not expecting this until later this week, awesome

Lots of thanks to the creator and video maker 🙏♥️

Action? No. Substance? Absolutely. Love this episode. Fine job as always.

I just gave another listen to this episode, there was one thing I missed my first listen through of it. The description of what Wyatt is wearing mainly what is holding his cloak to his armor, a red pin I’m kinda thinking that the Princess is thinking of Wyatt’s house and Cynthia s house merging or was I reading to much into it.

So the princess now points out his value AND names it his HOUSE. Looking forward to the author struggling with this - it is a hard topic to get right. But so far I am impressed. Shows it nicely out - he is ONLY a Knight, ONLY a new house, but DIRECTLY under House Aster. His title does not matter - he has the ear of the rulers and is highly valued by the princess, THAT is power. It is power justified - trust and friendship - but it still is power and lots of houes will want that. Plenty of higher houses that would give him a non-heiress (somewhere way down the line) to bind his house and get access to the princess. Also, he is not only that - he is also a VERY high valued ace - those people die, or get land and titles in a civil war. Feudal societies are complicated. He is now a minor - but actually not too minor - player - in the game of thrones. Nice setup for a little affair - even if it never materializes. How would Wyat be addressed? Sir like a knight, or Lord as member of a noble house? Anyhow, the next chapter will be amazingly interesting.

That is the whole point of him being a Banneret, it creates a new house there and then, it saying this man is now a noble and all his legal issue will also be nobles, whereas a regular knight is a minor noble their children will not automatically be nobles unless they come from an already enobled family, traditionally this is a big thing, in the context of the Principality however it gets better, not only is Wyatt a knight but he is assigned to Princess Clara and as we see here, is permitted access to the Royal Apartment. Traditionally this would be the role of a privy councillor, that is to say someone permitted access to the private chambers of the Royal concerned and able to talk to them pretty much without restriction. That is a huge thing in this kind of situation and so yes you can expect major noble families trying to gain influence over Princess Clara to offer all sorts of incentives to Wyatt, and that includes a significant dowery if he were to marry one of their eligible daughters.. However Clara is far from being stupid thus her warnings to Wyatt

There should be a number of other houses that did not make the Prince that the Princess could rely on. Heck, there are multiple noble houses just in her command. But no - she goes with the totally new house with zero relevance to the nobility. This is privy council level , it is a tremendous show of favour and it is going to create insane waves. Now, it totally IS justified - Wyatt IS a friend and IS someone the Princess relies on and trusts her live with - loyalty is in this case not its own reward, but IS rewarded. Still, I Really hope the author handles this new level of story well.

@@ThomasTomiczek I'm glad to see someone else is aware of just what the power of a Privy Councillor is. I think maybe Clara has decided that the friendship growing between herself and Wyatt is worth nurturing, She needs people she can trust, all she really had before Wyatt turned up was Cynthia who from this chapter appears to serve both as bodyguard strike team leader and ladies maid, classically a princess would have multiple ladies in waiting and maids yet Clara has none save Cynthia it seems. Wyatt by his honest actions has been given a well deserved jump in social standing, a knight banneret of the royal house would in itself have been a huge increase in status, but he also is apparently one of only two people Clara grants the effective status of Privy Councilor to, by convention such advisors would normally be of senior rank, Personally I think the story will at some point go one of two ways, either Wyatt ends up with Princess Clara or with Cynthia, if it's Cynthia he will end up with a nice little territory somewhere and a noble status of probably Marquess or Earl. If on the other hand he ends up with Clara then he's likely to end up a Duke with a larger portfolio of interests and I would not be surprised to find him on the border with the Drazzan which I suspect would be their worst nightmare LOL

I just had a hunch, a gut feeling that I should open youtube right now, and I wasn't disappointed.

Excellent chapter, my only critique is that Wyatt should have easily grasped the idea of compound interest. The warning against unmarried women was the best part. One day while on call as a med student in the 80s, I was awakened by a good looking naked nurse straddling me. I lied and said I was too tired, turning over until she left. I never mentioned it to others. Later I called my parents and told them to find me a wife. My parents both knew me and loved me; whom better to look? I was not only in med school, I was the ONLY student with a job (30hr/week). How I managed without drugs, not even coffee I don't know. The first 4 I rejected but #5 I'm still happily married to 40 years, 4 kids. I married as a virgin to a virgin. To this day she still gets goosebumps when I was hug her tight. Sometimes, she calls me sir. Biology doesn't change just because of ideology. Like gravity, biology will base you. Really good chapter because it is based on actual normal human biology. Too many stories these days promote the absurd.

We are awash in joyousness!!! How generous!!! Three chapters in only five days. You have discovered some new, mysterious means of speed writing?

I have no idea why Wyatt would think the female nobility were not dangerous, he is after all in the company of a woman that can beat up a Royal Marine and a Princess who seems to make other nobles nervous. However if we look back at say Elizabethan court there was indeed a lot of matchmaking carried out at court and often the greatest prizes were the nobles in the immediate circle of the Royal Family, so keeping Wyatt out of the clutches of one or more attractive young nobles is probably a wise move

That’s why after Clara explains to him, he says: “I suppose that *love* is not what they desire?” after he figures out why Clara turned the conversation in that direction.

A second chapter this week what a wonderful treat. The author ✍️ continues to develop our hero Wyatt. While a skilled pilot and strategic thinker, he has no concept on how the world works. Clara will teach him the ways of wealth and how to navigate the halls of power and political intrigue, and the heroine in Red Armor will hone his skills to navigate the physical challenges associated with Nobility.

Today already how can you spoil us so much

Great Story love the interaction between Wyatt, Cynthia and Clara. I hate it only has 32 chapters.

Nice we get a detailed description of Macha and the surrounding area around the planet. Interesting the planet Macha has something so technological advanced in having an orbital ring around it. I have a feeling that the planet has had extensive terraforming to mold it into a certain noble's perfection in the distant past. This chapter once again makes me think Clara has so genetic or cybernetic implant that allows royals to see into the surface thoughts. Though i think it only works to a degree, considering i have a feeling that thers some sort of countermeasure to it. Otherwise Clara or the Prince would have taken part in the interrogation of Frederick Anderson. I was surprised that Cynthia didn't tease Wyatt for how Wantom implying that Cynthia might be Wyatt's girlfriend 😂. I do like how Clara explaining a problem much of Astorian Nobility does not have proper training with how to manage money. I do like how Clara explaining why she didn't want him to transfer more than 400,000 credits. Its interesting that the Astorian government only pays attention to credit transfers of half a million or more. That's way higher the USA 🇺🇸 where its transfers of 10,000 dollars. I do like seeing Wyatt trying to understand the stock market. I do like how Clara did her best to teach Wyatt about Economics and ends up investing 💰 most of Wyatt's money for maximum profits 📈. I do like how protective Clara is with Wyatt by telling him to stay by hers side. So to prevent people from taking advantage of him and many noble's wanting to connecting his house with theirs. I am not surprised that Wyatt has yet think that many noble women would be presue him. I am not surprised that Wyatt would be unnerved by the turn of the conversation about warning the dangers of unmarried noble women wanting him. I am not surprised Wyatt has gotten bit entranced by how beautiful Clara is dressed up for a party. I do like how Wyatt compares the casual Clara to the master manipulater Clara. I do like the tense scene where Wyatt and Salazar Reid exchanging glares. Glad we get to see finally through procession that Wyatt has been training for and how it pays off for Wyatt's hard work. I do like moment that Wyatt admits to himself that Clara and Cynthia are his friends. That now he realized it's OK to have friends again ☺️. I was surprised that this chapter dropped so soon after chapter 30.5 on Saturday which was only 3 days ago. It will be interesting to see how Clara has to protect her precious hero from the many ladies wanting a piece of Wyatt!

And so it begins.😏 Wyatt checking out Clara's succulent fruits, his introduction to basic economics, surviving the royal procession, and - soon enough - his introduction to the realities of noble life. It still gets me that Reid isn't fazed by Abbacus' actions, given the evidence. In any military worth its salt, Abbacus would have been imprisoned or shot for disobeying the direct order of a superior officer under combat conditions and gross insubordination.
