Another lovely volume. I like the parallel storylines, from the mysterious boy (a *handsome* boy, as Obi will not let us forget) on the search for Shirayuki to Prince Raj's (apparently reluctant) invite to Tanburun, where Shirayuki must put on her best face and show she can stand shoulder to shoulder with royals without Zen's help. The way Obi weasels his way into being Shirayuki's bodyguard is very interesting and shows how he's gradually becoming more attached to this group, though he keeps hinting he might leave. Raj is a riot as usual, he's really not prince material with how he wears his heart on his sleeve, but it does make for some funny shenanigans.
