While I understand that the point of this conversation was to highlight Ascalon's lack of real-life experience, I can't help but find this scene laughable, both because it is Theresis telling her this, and because he says Manfred is somehow different. Do you seriously tell me Manfred didn't choose Military Commission simply because he was raised by it? Pretty much everything about him points at him blindly joining KMC thanks to propaganda, and I don't see how it is any different from Ascalon accepting protection of Theresa and her ideals as her life goal. If anything, I see Ascalon's choice as a lot more sincere, because at least she doesn't lie to herself.

Overall, it reads less like Theresis telling Ascalon to stop being a sheeple, and more like he is just salty she didn't side with him. And I wonder if this isn't actually the intended reading, because we see that Manfred handles his relationships with Paprika and Hoederer in the same way. With Paprika, he basically goes:

Manfred: I will show you how great my organisation is! Paprika: I think it sucks. Manfred: Well, I'm sending you to help the biggest psycho on the battlefield then.

And it's a bit of Episode 14 spoiler, but this is pretty much how he sees Hoederer as well.

god bless. I really loved Ascalon and Manfred's dynamic - so much of the sarkaz is bound up in these decades- and centuries-old bundles of feelings as these deathless elites need to contend with the passage of time but also the same people they have known for centuries.

manfred and ascalon
