I had high expectations for this novel; maybe that's why I'm a bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong; this is a good read and all, and it's translated really well (great job!). The story was set when Ciel was younger, and since that time she's grown and become Commander of the knights. However, it's only her ability that has improved; her mentality hasn't. She is naive, not to mention not very smart. She is so fixated on the past plot that rather than improving a lot of the aspects that could be improved, she is still formulating ways to run away. Okay, mind you, I would want to run away too, but not at the expense of my comrades. Let's weigh this: if Ciel ran away, not only would Cedric darken, but she'd leave all the other knights to their doom, knowing that the empire would be in turmoil and lose the war in the future.The good news is that it is still updating, and I'm hoping that this will get better because this is not a bad read and a good webnovel to fill up your time.
