did the princess f* with Lith? got confused for a minute there....

happy birthday!!

only for Yuan then the prince would do something stupid due to greed and there will be fights

or the leader of the "anti-mage" class Roland had fought with.

dead, dissected, and consumed.

I think it‘s more of Lith playing it safe. He is uncertain of the current events and his "jail" could be rigged of forgemaster items that could be very harmful to him similar to what had happened to Nalear’s fight(getting hurt of forgemaster items that she didn‘t know the headmaster had). the queen and the king had already suspected him of being an awakened in the early chapters which could be considered as them putting more caution towards him.

black ball in the middle of the house...the setting seems familiar

it seems his harem is starting to grow again...

well, it has something to do with the author of my vampire system incentivising readers to vote for additional contents
