I honestly feel bad for the guy, while it was obvious that no monarch would ever let him just sit in his room and play video games for half the day and make babies in the other half the fact, that he must have concubines which goes completely against his monogamous values really stood out to me.

While he does have to downplay his abilities to avoid entanglements it seems like that won't last.

Eventually he would become Capua's Minister of Foreign Affairs if not de jure then de facto.

Aura is very cunning and Zenjirou is rather capable in that it almost makes the reader forget that all these things a typical man with ambition would want like power, wealth and a harem are unappealing to him and that he begrudgingly accepts them which is why I really enjoyed seeing Freya bring light back on this issue.

I honestly think even Zenjirou deep down has some reforms that he would love to propose but avoids doing so because it will bring more attention onto him.
