It's fun to write.
The covers are a pain to make though.

My comments tend to get harsh & heated sometimes when talking about certain points in stories. I apologise in advance as I mean nothing bad by it to you personally, just me beefing with whatever part of the story I'm in at the time.

    Two amnesiacs? Last I remember Galardos wasn't done with the legionaire when the demon appeared so if anything I'd assume him to keep some memory of Milla and not be amnesiac, or I guess he's being labeled that because he has some memories but not all about her? I guess that makes sense.

    The first time we get any description of how Milla looks is in the last chapter? That's crazy.

    So I was right and everyone did forget Jund too, rip.

    Switching from demigodess to dragonkin? Felt very random but ok i guess.

    How would her name have stopped his heart? Even if he was petrified with fear, I don't see that happening, so that feels very weird.

    What's the point of making a thrall of a random civilian? I already felt like she didn't seem to meet the stories, with her way of speaking and everything which seemed friendly but was fine, but this? This straight up feels like a "Oops I forgot I need people to not like her" and forced that in, that's what it feels. Utterly random and forced. Idk about that at all. I wonder if she's to become psychotically sadistic for no reason at all in the future.

    I'll give that this second heart attack makes more sense than just hearing isabella's name.

    "sucessfully roped" ? The fuck is she talking about, he would have gone search for her regardless, all he needed was to know of her existance, this had nothing to do with loyalty to her. Feels like its just forcing us to remember "She's evil or something, don't forget what she said before", super iffy.

    Good enough to be knighted? I thought about this back with Olivia at first, but you can't just knight anyone. It's not like you've been knighted and you're super ultra powerful now, you have to meet the requirements first, for Olivia's order I'm sure she's just faster on that procedure and that's why it was so fast, but this? good resolve? That's it?
    He receives the training after? So anybody can be knighted after all. Disciplined into a deadly loyal bloodhound is just incorrect though, the moment he gets to milla his job is done. But I guess we're really trying to force the whole "potentially third villain besides the whatever organization maybe and traitorous angels" regardless if she's on zarielle's side.

    Well... That was... Slightly dissappointing. Specifically as in part 1 of the epilogue was good, it was solid, I liked it. THIS though? The way it ended at least, eh. and again it really does feel forced to me the whole regardless of anything isabella's group is an enemy.
    The first half of this was interesting, finally seeing what turned out of this village, but the second half fell apart for me.

    I did wonder where this was going, given the word limit and this didn't seem anywhere near done, so it was a volume 1 deal, nice.
    With that I will say that in these later chapters galardos did feel more like the main protagonist, but every other time it was Milla that felt like the main protagonist. Then the cover, I do have to once again comment on it, the way it's framed it's like the main thing is angie, that's the main deal, angie and galardos and their relationship with Milla way in the back almost covered as if only a supporting/background character, but that really isn't the case, angie only appearing towards the end and even then she doesn't stay in the no wings form for long. Obviously a future volume 2 may fix that may having it focus more on angie, but unless Milla really does become a background character (which wouldn't make sense for many reasons) then it really is eh. As well as you'd need more stuff between angie and galardos given how they are in the cover. It might seem to silly to comment so much on the cover, but the way it is tells me a wildly different set of things from what actually happens, and I think that counts for something.

    Well, in any case, it was a nice journey. You finally get to stop dealing with my annoying comments. Well I say that as a jest but hopefully they weren't annoying. It was a nice story, has it's ups and downs, with it fumbling the landing slightly (for me at least with this second half of chapter), but it was fun. I liked it.

    I thought the tone from cyrus seemed almost jovial. the "my oh my" confirms it. Though it seemed odd until that point, since before it he still doesn't know the full thing, heck I guess it only took Arlene to appear for the whole lie to fall apart as I thought it would. Though I figured the backup "truth" would hold out a little longer. Arlene is smart.

    "exactly why she didn't want Arlene involved" Then don't have her not in the loop next time.

    How was she able to get the info about the contract? Don't think hand gestures would have given it away and there was no sound thanks to the barrier... Was there that powerful a spy that was able to infiltrate that barrier undetected? Idk about that.

    "don't contact her" she's the one that made contact first, and honestly I feel she's trustworthy, something tells me the contract to become guardian angel wouldn't be able to be broken, not that easily at least. So even if she was a traitor she wouldn't be able to betray post contract I'd assume. Not contacting Isabella I guess can go either way. Extra help is nice and isabella for sure wouldn't be on the other side, but thats even more variables of the whole inquisition and a bigger group is more easily detectable, so it's fair.

    Finally a "I can't tell you but trust me" that's all she needed to do.
    "if isabella realizes it was a lie she'll hunt them down" Then tell her, she won't hunt them down then. Easy.

    "where he goes the whisperveil will clean after" so in the end a huge group will come along regardless... At that point just tell isabella, no way someone from the inquisition would be against zarielle or really just her specifically. And as long as she's in the know she can throw the rest off course. Well whatever.

    "if she asks anything just cry" "how was dinner" "starts sobbing" "huh?" Obviously an exageration and no way she'd be dumb enough to fumble that badly and give away everything by being that suspicious, but the image was funny.

    Man everyone really is acting as if Isabella is already a confirmed traitor or something, sheesh.

    Wonder if she was the one behind the wolf attack.

    Thinking about it, how DID they come to know that, was she thinking out loud or speaking to someone I wonder.

    "attention to me" I can only assume she keeps herself hidden and doesn't want to risk anything, otherwise I'd think they'd recognize the never changing girl that stays around.

    "it needs to be contained" It already was. What was the point of her sending anna to him to break containment if it was only to contain him again? Because no way anna found him on her own.

    I'd assume anna would be able to kill her too no? Though probably needing more effort, so wonder why the stylus would be so easily able to. I don't really see how it would happen or why really.

    So she does realize it was already contained, and I guess she sent her there because she finally found a way to contain? it already was, throw it to one of the pits in the catacombs and bury it, heck go middle of nowhere, dig a massivel hole and bury it, really TONS of ways, so I don't buy this. This feels like well, not really plot convenience, more like something to spice up the plot out of nowhere.

    I get it, she has magic to defend versus normal stuff, but she has nothing against magical means, specifically... No I don't get it after all. Surely she can block magic, so why would a stylus do anything? Just because it was created magically? Just that? And somehow she has NO way to setup a defence against that? What did he specify it to be a stylus that the more magic you use the more effective it is against you? I guess I can sort of see that? Must have been that. Which means either he was just hoping someone would use him against her, or throw it at her or... Hope that she'd pick him up? Or he got betrayed by whoever was meant to?

    "please help me now" who is she asking this to? Wonder if it's just for distraction as she writes something under the pall.

    So clayton is definitely nearby to hear and/or watch, yet no magic on his cell, unless it was there but just not stated.

    Was clara the one saying "did they poison her" ?

    Surely it must have been her that gave her the pall originally... So how did she not know of it's properties of repelling magic (and a lot of other things) ? Unless she found it in the catacombs? Then it would have been left here with the stylus at which point she'd have maybe recognized it or even if not, why would she have left the pall there with the stylus for anna to find? Something's weird there.

    Another villain enters the fray, the great undeath still needs to get got though.

    The prison was in the gatehouse? interesting.

    How did she open and close the bundle with her hands bound? I could see maybe opening it being quite difficult, but close it too? No way. Not unless she was unbounded when she was unhooded but never stated, or I missed it.

    "clara lay down" typo, should be laid.

    "fingers" Ok, clearly she was unbounded, and those are the clothes she was wearing I guess? I don't know. It was never clarified, I think it should have. If so, wonder what she's wearing now.

    I guess the barrier will stop sound, won't stop sight though, or Anna from telling clara later, or for clayton to hear it since he can't be that far and it doesn't say the script went that way too.

    "Why don't you face it yourself." One needs help obviously. The alternative is doing it herself, she dies and now there's no one to summon people to save the realm and everyone perishes. Always get help.

    Clara is a fucking moron, I can't believe Anna just said that.

    "You" And whoever discovers magic. Like how can someone be this dumb, holy shit. STOP LISTENING TO CLARA, SHE'S AN IDIOT.
    "The solution is simple just keep everyone illiterate and have everyone's lives be bad instead of being able to improve." Fucking what next, is she also gonna advocate for slavery too? Anna is so dumb.

    "and will be" sounds odd, like I almost expected it to be "and always will be", sounds better at least with it.

    So we finally meet the summoner.

    So the plan is to have galardos lose to be able to leave empire by "banishment" while gizelle is talking to her daughter or the empress (I guess I don't know) about something in order to also be able to leave. I see why Olivia won't like it, but that banishment can be lifted after the world is saved.

    I guess Isabella and Order and such know he's not truly in exile so he needed a proper one?
    Ok hold on, they couldn't be seen together or it would be suspicious... So the plan is to be together... and somehow not be suspicious? Which technically basically means exiling Gizelle too, not babysit. Yeah his plan is shit. It's definitely going to be suspicious, heck, I'd say more so than just doing it in secret or having both leave on different reasons.
    "Airtight plan" my ass.

    He instantly clocked that. Wow.

    Technically a lie, technically true. A mix of both, though I guess the "we" is him already hinting to something Cyrus will soon find out of Gizelle coming with? Okay if that is included as the real, secret reason for him and gizelle to ACTUALLY be going, that's a way more believable lie, but it has to be something that Isabella, his fiancee, and such have to eventually find out as the "real truth" instead of the other farse.

    "such geopolitical climate" feels like a typo, shouldn't it be "a geopolitical"?

    "they can't know" That feels worse, because that might mean arlene and thus everyone else won't get to find out, and if that happens then the only truth is the incredibly suspicious shitty plan he came up with, the real "truth" needs to be spread among the elite, only then does it become believable, otherwise in my opinion it's a bit of plot armor/convenience that somehow they'll fall for a lie as bad as this one.

    He says in his deceit, but it's kinda true though, nothing stopping the side quest of finding a solution (assuming goddess MIlla can't do it)

    Nice chapter.
