Episode 8 – Secrets of the Silent Witch

As I mentioned two weeks ago, it is obvious that the “mystery of missing tea” is the culprit of whom. The real mystery is not who did it (Casey), but why she did it. Even in this episode, her motivations are not directly explained, but there is enough information for us to fill in the blanks

In short, Casey is an assassin. Like Isabelle, Casey’s fief is located in a struggling area. But unlike Isabelle, her people were not saved by legendary figures The silent witch In the eleventh hour. Instead, neighbors approached them, and the country asked only one thing in exchange for a secret dispatch of troops: the death of the Second Prince.

What’s interesting about the political conspiracy happening is how complicated (and miserable) it is. The Kingdom of Lando was not hurt by Felix or Ridil. But the question is that Rand is worried about what would happen if Felix became king. As we all know, Felix’s uncle Duke Clockford wanted to fight the neighboring empire, while Landor sat between the two great powers. Since Felix is ​​seen as his uncle’s puppet, Lando decided to actively get rid of him before a series of crises began. Casey is happy to take on the task – she is currently more loyal to Landor than Ridill to provide the assistance they provide.

So, how does this all combine with her relationship with Monica? Basically, Monica looks simple. She was timid, modest and, most importantly, a member of the Student Union with Felix. Even if the relationship with Monica doesn’t bring her directly to Felix, Monica will be an excellent source of information about Felix’s reproduction and behavior, and that turns out to be the case. Casey’s “The Mystery of Missing Tea” is just a little bit manipulated. She would put Monica into social binding and save her – like she did when the horses were crazy (although it remains to be seen whether that was going on too).

Now, that’s not to say Casey doesn’t like Monica, but you can definitely like a person and use them. However, Monica is first and foremost a source of information and a source of absenteeism. Casey even has several layers to explain her behavior if found some of her involvement-whether she is a friend of Monica or a secret bully.

However, Casey has entered her own plans and head games and never thought that Monica might be more important than she seems. But that’s the biggest difference between Casey and Monica. Casey is an assassin who pretends to be a sunny and weak student – always plays her post-water aristocratic identity, making her look harmless and disconnected from the politics of the capital. Every action is manipulation.

However, Monica didn’t pretend at all. When she hides herself from using magic, she is The silent witch– If everyone knows who they are, she behaves like her. She is neither dual nor manipulative. She is exactly what she looks like, and, more.

Random thought:

•Instructions: Casey even if he watched Monica twice without chanting the scriptures The silent witch Until Monica actually announces who she is. In other words, it’s not glasses that prevent people from figuring out Clark Kent is Superman. The truth is, no one can imagine that a person as powerful as Superman would choose to live like someone so gentle and gentle, not to mention that personality is not an act, but his real character.

•You can say Monica knows Casey is right – she and her family will be killed for treason.

•Felix’s lizard appears to be a familiar lizard like Nile, meaning Monica isn’t the only hidden magical ability.

•I wonder if we will encounter the Thorn Witch this season or if they are characters in the story later.
