So Dorrisia used to be ruled by a royal family (whom the Royalists support), but now there's a new rule by.. a princess? Kind of weird to call the previous monarchy "royalty" and not the new one. She was also a lot more cute when she was younger. The new princess is a little creepy. I'd rather talk to Pino instead of her, and that's saying something.
Haruto powers the other Valvraves because he's contracted with Pino. Don't forget that Runes are anything information. He gets information from the DNA of people he bites, their memories, his memories, the things he sees when he's going around all crazy, etc.

The difference is what Pino said. Marie doesn't have a limiter. She dumps raw, complete memories into Pino, who consumes them immediately to operate, and memories are the best kind of information. Tremendous input, tremendous output.

Haruto must subconsciously restrict the runes that Pino is given. He doesn't give her full memories, he limits what runes he lets her eat. Maybe he lets her eat the color of Takahi's ribbon on the day he and Shouko had the eating contest, or the temperature of the pool water three months ago, or even whether a particular leaf on a tree was moving in the wind. Meaningless trivialities, but runes are runes. They are the information equivalent of subatomic particles.


We're not really sure what the hell that machine was, it looked like a cross between an iron maiden and a portable sauna, except it had the massive heating coils we've seen used to fry the Valvraves. "Creepy" doesn't quite cover it. I get the feeling she's not really the same Princess that L-Elf remembers. She's probably one of the Council of A Hundred and One like her brother is now, taken over by one of the Magius.

I also assume the current Dorssian Prince and Princess aren't the same royals.


Edit: Actually, I'm sure of it. She was taken over at some point between the time L-Elf met her and now. The symbol on the front of the iron maiden sauna was the same clover that the Council uses, seen when one of the others took over her brother.
