You take my sister. Then I'll take yours.
- Wein

That's what I call an Equivalent Exchange
although it's pretty obvious that these marriages would not come to fruition

Eye for an eye..... a sister for a sister lol

lowa approves flanya however ,,,,, my brain has been corrupted by the ..... simulations.

Like brother like sister.

I see they're keeping it in the family.

Except, I'm pretty sure that douche prince doesn't care about his sister like Wein does for his.

Yeah he only cares about power and being the emperor and that guy drank a poison tea and now he almost die

But he does not care to lose influence in the government. If he weds the little maiden princess he gains nothing but a minor claim to a minor land at most. Meanwhile Natra gains a direct connection to the current first in line for the throne and legitimate ties to the imperial family. Irregardless of how he treats her.
If Wiens marries Prince Balls-for-brain's sister he gains again the direct connection to the imperial family, a chance at kingship should his wife to be somehow rise to the throne as Queen, links his minor lands to a major power for defense, and thereby great influence within said Empire while actually securing his hold upon his on throne... What would he lose ? Some personal freedom since he would be more embroiled in Imperial affairs. This would though make him a true threat to the three brothers since they are well aware of his intellect and potential. They are no match if they go head to head with a prodigy who has access to the same imperial resources they have. As long as he is a player in a minor kingdom he is handicapped. The first Prince was destined to cancel his wedding as a condition of Wiens withdrawing plans to marry into the imperial family.

Yeah, your argument is pretty spot on. In reality that douche prince doesn't really care of his sister but what he want to avoid is giving Wein access or more accurately a "legitimacy" to the throne of the empire. Since Prince Wein is already well known for his ability in the empire and his achievement, i mean Marden even became a vassal state of Natra, not to mentioned Wein is also very popular with the people and soldier of Natra currently. Even the blonde hair prince said he's to good to and should be killed. There'll be many noble who will rallied behind Lowalmina. Wein even said that while currently Lowalmina is not considered as a candidate to the throne for being a female, she's already confirmed to be popular with the people being akin to a saint that want to help the people (her image that she created for herself). A marriage between Lowalmina and Wein will undoubtedly created a powerfull force. As stupid as the first prince of the Empire, seem like even he's aware of how big of a threat their marriage will posed.

I like the sister of wein she still has that wein speech thing and confidence

Cringe worthy speak
no one will hear her if she spoke in the middle of a fight

I figure that they made that hall similar to an amphitheater. the stage area is built to amplify sound outward so her voice would carry farther...
Yeah, but no. She didn't really speak loud enough, as you said, and still would have been mostly drowned out at first. Only the first couple rows would have heard her... unless someone had silenced the crowd to her benefit it would have been a fiasco.

It's mostly their respect to her that they decided to keep their mouth shut and listen the moment they realised the voice belong to her. For coming to the assembly and listening attentively to the debate despite being a very young sheltered princess, she already gain the respect of the assemblyman. She is even invited to give her opinion and join deliberations earlier (11.38). Remember this assemblyman is not your average citizen but a merchant, most likely a great merchant meaning they know very well how a sheltered noble daughter would normally behaved. Also, the merchant seem to lack any political ambitions and truly worked and debate at the senate for the sake of a better city for it's citizen, unlike most politician in our world.

Holy shit XDDD.

Never will. And the brother was dumb.

superiority complex fool.

Those 30.000 people is following a little girl and the little girl is in the front. it's kinda funny she actually did it and wein is gonna talk to that hot girl and that big guy

The little girl (Princess) with the People's Senate (and legitimate ruling class) following right behind. They most likely had organized their resources prior to this while lacking a will to leave or courage to appoint a leader (since that would give one of them a leg up on the others) to do so. She is clearly not viewed as a threat and it seems all those merchants lack political ambition...

Sad but true.

I love that scene where ninym hugged wein, when wein woke up and ninym cried lol she thought wein died. Wein is just sleeping

As they say An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth.
But in this case
A Loli for an Onee-san.

law of equivalent exchange

any economist here?.

no only full metal alchemist

I spoke to one today....

Nice power play right there, though I still wouldn’t give Falanya over to that scumbag.

Lol Wein has no intention whatsoever, I can't imagine Demetrio ever uniting the continent.

Yes, he will never.

He could just rape Falanya and blame it to alcohol and tell Wein that he will take responsibility by marry her, though he should know what happen. What can Wein's country could do against the empire right now. Just joking btw.

Lol you know how Wein reacted when someone insulted his precious ninym? Imagine what he would do if someone raped his sister, he’ll probably burn the whole continent.

Sure he could risk his country altogether. At least he need powerful allies to back him up.

He wouldn’t care. Remember when he killed the king? He was risking it all. He would probably have a hard time afterwards but he’ll eventually get to it.

indeed an he would not face much backlash either ! the other two brothers would be grateful to him since he removed ahorse from the race and probably will also back him up.

Or take him out to get rid of a future opponent as one tried this ep

Lol you compared it to the empire. He probably could and vice versa.

You know he would just kill the dude right then and there no what is or what not..he would just kill him the moment he knows

Falanya has a pretty damn skilled bodyguard, and I'm pretty sure he won't hesitate on cutting Demetrio's d1ck when that happens regardless of what the consequences are

yes dont forget his body gaurd is nantra best asassin

*Sad sausage noises*

Well his stupidness will not make him able to do that tho. As much as i observed i didn't really see any skill soldier or assassin in the empire lmao. If he was smart enough but he was just an idi*t so...

Well his stupidness will not make him able to do that tho. As much as i observe i don't really see any skill soldier or assassin in the empire lmao. If he's smart enough but he was just an idiot so...

Really glad that move worked, really. I don't really want to see that scumbag to get any where near Falanya.

An eye for an eye, that sh** is real lol

That's a win win situation lol

Lol demetrio is frustrated knowing wein will get a ripe fruit, and him is just a flower.

more like Im gonna take your sister but im definately not gonna give you mine
- Wein

Aha, that's hilariously clever.

Next thing you know, the step sister will ask assistance when she gets stuck in the washing machine!

Non shall harm the precious loli
