Luca is a beloved character. Nina, not so much..... I myself stay pretty neutral on both of them. I think Luca is written in such a way that she is over the top nice, which kind of rubs me the wrong way... same with Nina... she is the polar opposite. I do think they are interesting characters. Farnese is being to have an internal conflict, but religious beliefs are a hard thing to overcome! Beliefs vs observation. Serpico is not part of the nobility, yet his devotion to Lady Farnese is obvious. Very interesting. This is the second time we have heard about King Gaiseric. The first time, Princess Charlotte was recalling the history of Middland during the rescue of Griffith from the dungeons in the tower of rebirth. A bit of history there! The question is.... who do those eyes belong to, and how does Mozgus fit in? I also love how demon baby protects Casca! It loves her so much!
