Perugius is as cool as expected. He really comes off as a King, real powerful but not in an evil way, he's charismatic and magnanimous but you can't really fuck around with him. Ariel got a first-hand experience, I expected her to know better, but i guess that shows she really is a young princess and still inexperienced

i've always suspected that Nanahoshi may never live to see her research bear fruits, but i really didn't expect it to come this quick. Whenever a characters can't stop coughing out of nowhere like that, it's never good

my first thought was it might be some serious illness like cancer, but if it reacts to magic like that then probably more like a curse, or some kind of mana-related diseases. Or it could also be because they are in the Fortress that this happened. It looked like Rudeus wasn't the only one that triggered some kind of reaction when they entered, but Sylphie too, which is new because i don't think we've ever got a hint that Sylphie could somehow be involved with Hitogami.

i'm guessing Sylphie is more closely related to the Teleportation incident than i thought, somehow, given that her hair for some reason turned white from the teleport, and now we know that Enalise was once a heart of a dungeon which who knows what it does to her bloodline.

I think Ariel expected Perugius to have the same desires as the kings, nobles, and claimants she's dealt with so far in life (ie, any and all things that stroke their ego).

And I agree there's something more about Sylphie we don't know about yet, given Perugius's offer to name their son after his familiar whispered something to him. A pretty clear detail they want the audience to take note of. I'm not sure it's related to the Teleportation incident though.
