2 Sept 2022 - "Princess Blanket"

I made it first again.

That's some surprisingly insightful thinking by Minmax there, really working those 9 points in INT.

So, is Kin still pretending - or does stating a falsehood somehow make it become true (or at least, make you *think* it is true)? Maybe state "The door is open!" and see what happens, does it open, or do you start repeatedly walking into it thinking it is ...

I think one needs to speak truth, and the other speaks false, and she's trying to achieve that by sticking to her role as Princess...
Also, one can be a Princess of one territory (Blanket) while being the queen of another territory (Blanketland).

See e.g. Prince Charles, who is [1]:
Duke of [Cornwall/Rothesay/Edinburgh]
while also being
Earl of [Carrick/Chester/Merioneth]
while also being
Prince of Wales
Prince and Steward of Scotland
and more titles for more territories...

So considering all those as falsehoods, it might also work to explain why she's apparently that much higher level now.

She ment to ger back go our realm, but just didn't manage to get to it. 'Cose you know... Reasons... :lol:

Maybe when she spoke false, a spell was cast on her so that she now thinks she speak true.
As a result, she really thinks she is queen/princess and is angry for real when some bald usurper dared to speak to her.

If Kin isn't just sticking to a bit (to get back at MM for the MoM gag), and this magic trap actually causes falsehoods to become true, I fully expect Minmax to announce "I am unbeatable in combat!", just on the slim chance Herbert will actually let him get another combat bonus that way.

Of course, the trap most likely only makes the liar think the lie is true. And simply *believing* yourself unbeatable is very dangerous indeed.

Well its clear Minmax likes Kin being close enough to smell her hair!

Last panel has the stone pattern that is by the door in the opposite direction she is going. She's definitely charmed or cursed into believing the lie

How is anything of what MinMax said making him an ursuper? One who performs lèse-majesté, one who is insubordinate or a mutineer would make sense. I thought an ursuper is one who seizes power. I might be mistaken though, as english is not my first language.
