You know what? I'm usually defending women in manga that people call annoying for no reason so if "I" say that I have a problem with a character then you know it's bad. That princess is just a plot device and not much else. Heck, I like the former assassin more than her. Although yes, Kaori is the only good option.
uhh lowkey hate the amount of fanservice this has but the plot is just so good. the only girl i hope he ends up with is kaori. her feelings are genuine from what i can tell. like if it was a random girl (someone like the princess or kaede or whatber hef name was) i dont think they would even bother with thanking him for saving their life while he was still chubby and short.
