Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

In front of the kids?

That seemed to be a deliberate action. Lilia and Zenith left the room.

I got the feeling that Rudy just wanted the family members to hear everything in one go. Lilia already knew and with her status as 2nd wife there's no way she'd go against the decision.

Was it wise or appropriate to do so all together instead of with just the wives? I'm not sure. For one, with just the wives it'd seem a bit like a 2v1 against Sylphie. Norn talking out there does make you happy that someone's on your side - whether you agree with their "harsh" stance or not.

From a narrative aspect, it was more interesting for sure.

Nothing, but she could still argue that its an eternal sin and constantly complain about it, which is what she would've done if she is a devout follower that priotises piety over other things.
Which is what I'm saying, she isn't.

I don't believe she dropped it for good, just like that. She just stopped arguing against it during that meeting, after seeing Sylphie accept it and Roxy in tears. For example she really tried to take it out on Rudeus during the sword practice, so she definitely isn't finished with punishing him or complaining, if given a chance. That being said, I have no doubt Roxy will win her over soon enough. She's an experience magic tutor, for example, and Norn could use all help she could get in that. Not to mention Roxy wouldn't try to teach her "genius arts" like the Silent Fitts or Rudeus. The traditional way of doing magic probably suits Norn better.

It was all up to Sylphie to say No or Yes. Having the kids there would have hardly relieved Sylphie from any guilt she might have felt if she had said No. That's what it was all about, ultimately, considering it was Roxy, not just any random woman. She can live with Roxy there to share Rudeus with, but could she have lived with the aftereffects if Roxy had been sent away? It wasn't an emotionally fair decision-making process in that sense. Norn and Aisha didn't really change anything.
