Damianya is great but I’m also invested in whatever it is Martha and Henderson have going on and what their past connections were

I have this semi serious headcanon that all the staff/butlers from the kids and Eden Academy know each-other because they're all special forces sworn to protect and nurture the next generation to make the country better and possibly prevent a future war from happening like it did with the current generation.
Martha and Henderson know each-other? Smells like former military/special forces buddies-to-possible-romance there
And judging from the tense political atmosphere, the role the rich families depicted there play (Blackbell Heavy Industries the military manufacturer especially) puts each of them in a dangerous position.
Especially the children of these rich families.
Each Eden kid has a butler/caretaker of their own. Loid immediately clocks Martha as former military, indicating that Martha may not only have military training but that Becky's parents purposefully chose their butlers carefully, especially those directly in charge of Becky, to ensure her safety.
Martha would act as a guard and threaten anyone who harms Becky, despite her age I think she would definitely break a man who comes too close to her lady.
Henderson is essentially in the position of caretaker and teacher at Eden, but he also carries himself with that rigid posture and discipline of a former soldier. He may have even been deployed a soldier during his military service in a former war.
So...when will we get a secret society/organization of butlers who all secretly have military training to act as the strongest defense and offense while posing as harmless civilians to not only aid the rich families that employ them and their services, but to ensure that the next generation doesn't incite another war that would tear Ostania and Westalis further apart again.

Henderson and Martha backstory in today's new chapter...was not expecting that, but it was really good! I know people were shipping them before, but now the ship has really set sail 😅
So Martha is the origin of Henderson's "Elegant" catchphrase...how cute, lol.
Now we know why Henderson was so shocked when Becky said this! 😂
I'm not into reading fanfics, but I still got some "Twiyor Eden AU" vibes from this chapter!
I see some of Twilight in young Henderson: Twilight is constantly conflicted with keeping up his spy persona despite growing feelings for his family, just like Henderson was obsessed with perfectly upholding the rules of Eden...until he started to realize that even the prestigious school was being corrupted.
Also similarly, Twilight's realization about the need for information, which eventually led to him becoming a spy, is just like Henderson's realization about the need for education, which led to him becoming a teacher.
And still another similarity is Henderson becoming so obsessed with his pursuit of education that he cast aside desires of wanting to have fun and enhance relationships with others...just as Twilight has been doing since he became a spy. But it seems like present day Henderson realized how ignorant he was back then...maybe Twilight will eventually realize this about himself as well?
I've mentioned many times before that I love how Endo is able to so seamlessly bring darker themes into otherwise non-dark stories, which makes the setting, characters, etc, more interesting. Even in something so simple like the short mission with Bond last chapter where he gives a glimpse into the horrors of animal experimentation, in this chapter he brings in themes of impending war and corrupt education in what would otherwise be a benign school romance story.
Looks like this arc will continue with at least another chapter, possibly more! I'm still curious to see how Martha ended up becoming a soldier and eventually working for the Blackbells. Or maybe she ended up being part of Garden, as some people theorize. Regardless, I really don't think ballet stayed her main focus throughout her life. Also, didn't Henderson eventually get married and have a child later on? Hope we'll learn even more about them in the next chapter!
