Holy shit, all the side characters in this anime are amazing. I went from thinking Casey is best girl two weeks ago to thinking Isabelle is best girl today.

All the dorky play-acting a villainess really prepared her on how to actually be a "villainess" towards those that harm she cares about.

So far Isabelle has been serving as comic relief with the contrast between the evil stepsister persona and her actual fangirl one. Now we get to see her cunning and protective side. She’d make one hell of a queen.

really upset we didnt get any scenes of her nursing Monica for that week

u/belle496 Aug 16 '25

ugh same!!! I enjoy every episode with Isabelle. and i thought I could have one more stretch of her nursing Monica in her room

u/Phoenix__Wwrong Aug 16 '25

Seriously. They already made her an underclassman, so we don't get to see her much, not even in the OP.

We need more Isabelle.

I'm surprised she showed up at all. They sidelined her so hard once Monica got into the student council. I expected her to have a much stronger presence in the show, given her role, but there are so many frickin characters. Has she even met any of Monica's new friends?!

u/Phoenix__Wwrong Aug 17 '25

Yeah, I'm still disappointed that she barely appeared. The premise was that Monica was there to be like a servant for Isabelle, yet we barely see that.

I won't stop complaining that the story could have been written such that Monica was her maid so we get to see more of Isabelle's life. Then Monica can use magic to sneakily guard the prince, which is something she's good at.

I feel like the author kinda forgot that they’re supposed to be undercover lol, not even so much as at least giving her a new first name was kind of silly

Love me some cunning and ruthless nobles. In the game of thrones, you win or you die.

u/Juanraden Aug 16 '25

have you ever attended a tea party with your whole family and region on the line? lol

u/KumaKumaGambler Aug 15 '25

Lana did not appear today, but I imagine she has gone home to request that her father, despite their sudden wealth, to declare war on the Simmons family. :D

u/fatalystic Aug 16 '25

She didn't have any lines, but wasn't she in attendance at the barbecue party?

u/Phoenix__Wwrong Aug 16 '25

I'm really confused with the family name in this anime. The bully name is Caroline Simmons, but it seems like she's from Norn family.

Same with Isabelle Norton of Kerbeck family.

This happen in real life too, the British monarch are from the House of Windsor, however the prince are known as of Wales and Sussex (and their "surname" are even more complicated).

Isabelle has always been best girl. It's too bad we didn't get to see any part of that week where she was no doubt going all out caring for Monica.

u/Phoenix__Wwrong Aug 16 '25

Isabelle has always been best girl. They had to make her an underclassman so she doesn't appear much to nerf her best girl power.

This episode was a Rollercoaster. I had no idea where it was going to go at any point.

Holy shit, all the side characters in this anime are amazing.

IMO the supporting characters on this show are more interesting than the MC. Monica is fun character, of course, but I actually like Isabelle, Lana, Claudia, Casey, and even Felix more than her.

I'm still confused about the Tea thing though. Who ruined her tea? Surely she wouldn't have used tea twice to attack or embarrass her?

u/HornedTurtle1212 Aug 17 '25

I think they put a few eye drops or whatever in her tea thinking that she would start to take a sip and spit it out because it was discustingly bitter. Then they would be "offended" at her spitting out the tea at the tea party. They didn't know that she regularly drinks coffee which is much more bitter. Really the girl seemed more stupid and unlucky than anything. The stair situation was an accident and if she had just owned up to causing the accident then she wouldn't have had as many issues. Then with the tea I'm sure if they were smarter they could have made sure it tasted bad without being toxic.

Sorry to be clear. I meant the previous episode where her tea got knocked into the garbage. Clearly done on purpose.

But it seems weird that she would use tea twice to attack her.

u/rahendric https://myanimelist.net/profile/moronwmachinegun Aug 17 '25

She also never mentioned it. I have like a 1% suspicion on Casey since her story is a little too like Monica's- country noble nobody likes, etc. So nobody to recognize her.

Was offering her own tea for Monica's use an attempt to sabotage Monica's party presentation? Isabelle made a big deal about not using the same tea as someone else. 

Even if Lana and Casey wouldnt care, Claudia is very observant and would have mentioned it. And she's the daughter of a Marquis so a pretty high ranking noble.

Good to have her more screentime in this ep and give a stop to the subpar villainesses!
