Ah drat. And here I was hoping that we'd get to have Asch as a main character for a little bit longer. I like that little sentimental moment he had with the princess last episode, even if it only was a split-second. It shows our hard and calloused Asch still cares, and that his past is important to him still.

I'm not sure about this new Luke either, but now he's a person who is teachable and willing to listen and grow, so hopefully we'll be seeing some more positive changes in his character. And, occasionally, for the briefest moments, I find myself forgetting to loathe Mieu and thinking that he is cute.
