The villainess Lavienne and our FL Esther are actually biological siblings. Grand Duke Tersia's wife has a twin sister, and that twin got a child with Duke Braon. Esther is that child, so the prophecy that the goddess promised is actually meant for the 1st daughter from House Braon. But the Duke doesn't knew it and believe that Lavienne is her first daughter.
It's quite frustrating but instead of bio dad, Grand Duke Tersia is just her uncle and the twin brothers as her cousin.
So this arc has 3 organizations involved, The Continental Magic Association, Empire Special Forces of Magic & the Shadow Warriors.
Back then it was hella confusing on who is the enemy and who is in-charge to Serie assassination. So, all this time it was the Shadow Warrior's fault, they can't move on from their ideals so they act on their own. The Empire has tensions with Continental Magic Association but not to the point they would assassinate Serie. In short, the Empire has internal conflict and Serie & Frieren group just got caught with it.
Iris and the original Gideon are match for each other. She's a bitch and he's a piece of trash. So Gideon forced the prince (ML) to kill his lover (FL) even tho it's against his will so that he would return back time for that bitch Iris. The ML back then even say that he would do anything even without time reset. And now that they are in their second life it create misunderstanding for the FL cuz she believe that the ML killed her even tho he actually sincerely love her.
Ruby became the idol and star she always dreamed of, fulfilling both her own aspirations and Aqua's wish for her. Yet Aqua seems to have forgotten that his original wish was for Sarina to become an idol and live a happy life. But what about now? Ruby is trapped in a life of lies, concealing even her own feelings. This isn't what Ai wished for her children, nor what Gorou wanted for Sarina.
So, the author create a book filled her fantasies and Reeze is her self insert character. She got lucky that she reincarnated to it and lived with her fantasies but the system set the world into loop. I get that Reeze/Author is the villain here but the system is evil too like why would summon someone just to get looped (Reeze) & to get killed (Edith).








So these shadow warriors killing mages for decades and even killed a great mage elf just to delete magic in their world? What's worse is they have the audacity to live in the city of magic even tho they are against it.
Exactly. Like these elves have been alive for thousands of years with magic and they want it eradicated?
Will they kill the Special Forces of Magic, too?
