Lafiel is much more expressive in this manga, but I actually enjoy that. This chapter also did a good job in highlighting the negative aspects of Abh culture. The Empress clearly values order over ideals.
I also have to say that I disliked Bryan Masumoto's translation in this chapter. He used the word "surfeit," which is a word I've never heard before and I got my degree in English Literature. I almost mistook it for one of the made up Abh words.
