@shinta:
She's an expert at Empire garden party politics and love because she's a princess of the Empire. That's her area of expertise, despite having the Rose Knights and all that. They're not really good fighters, but are good at riding around on horses.
She's dumb about pretty much everything else.
@MFauli:
No, he's not. Zolzal only cares about honor and pride, the same way Pina does. Except he doesn't want to make peace with Japan, he wants to make them leave by being annoying. He's the equivalent to Middle East insurgencies. Pina is the equivalent to something like post-war Japan.
He's an idiot, has no clue what's going on, and doesn't realize that Japan will break them economically either. He's being convinced by Tyuule that the insurgency strategy is good so she can accomplish her own ends.
Only the Emperor started to realize what Japan could do to them. He already used them to ensure the Empire was back on a level playing field with their equivalents. He doesn't want peace, but knows he has little choice. The difference is that he realized their kind of politics can put them on even ground with Japan at the negotiating table, since they can't compete on the war table.
- Zolzal is too stupid to understand what his father said.
- Tyuule understood it perfectly.
- Pina is too innocent to understand it fully.
