Okay you mean the original encounter. I thought you were referring to spoiler[something that is coming up. When you said you've read the English LNs I thought you had gotten to that part.] There are still reasons why Ferdinand did not interfere then. The High Bishop does outrank him in the Church hierarchy and spoiler[comes from a high noble family himself.] And at the time Ferdinand did not know how valuable Myne is with her large amount of mana (he may have thought she was like Frieda) and her knowledge of new products that will prove very valuable to their realm. So to him she was just a commoner with an unknown amount of mana who could be of some use. And perhaps he wanted to see how things played out. Ferdinand is a very calculating character. |

That is not really my issue. It is the "Lets Kill the Parents, and take what we want." I am of the thought that Ferdinand would be there watching as Myne's parents are executed.
If that happened, would the first book Myne made be the Necronomicon. It is another older way to make parchment. |

Oh c'mon. They weren't going to kill Lutz's parents when Benno was going to adopt him.
I'm guessing this would be more of a case of patronage than real adoption. Not that I think Myne will be immediately receptive of an "adoption" but it's obviously going to be more of a name-only deal. And is obviously necessary. It looks like the English books have now all been published up to this point. If you go to Amazon you can find the subtitle for this next part Part 1: Daughter of a Soldier Part 2: Apprentice Shrine Maiden Part 3: spoiler[Adopted Daughter of an Archduke] |

spoiler[The High Bishop isn't the son of the previous archduke and Sylvester is the son of the previous archduke. If you looked at the Part 2 Volume 4 Prologue closer you'd see it says "Under normal circumstances, the nobles gathered at the mansion would never yield the seat of honor to a temple man, but both Bezewanst’s mother and father had been candidates to become archduke" i.e. his father wasn't the previous archduke. Then near the end Myne's internal monologue says "..The High Priest is the archduke’s half-brother, and the son of the last archduke? Okay, that explains why the Knight’s Order would kneel to him.", as Ferdinand and him share a father it means Sylvester's father was the previous archduke.

@HannoX
The physical release of the latest Light Novel must have been available before the digital release. I just got mine a couple of days ago, and have already reread it several times. Going to have to talk about it in the Light Novel forum, as it is extremely impactful. |

Since the light novel is licensed by J-Novel Club, the ebooks are available 4-6 months ahead of the paperback release. The latest paperback was Part 2 Volume 2, which is where the anime stopped (next volume set for November), whereas the ebooks are up to Part 2 Volume 4, with Part 3 Volume 1 releasing in a month and a half in August. So if you wish to read ahead of where the anime has stopped, ebook is your only option for now until the next paperback volume releases in five months. |

Myne's friend, the Guildmaster's daughter/granddaughter also has the devouring, and is being sold off to a noble family in order to access health care. The story stresses that the Guildmaster found a "benevolent" family for her, but at the end of the day it's still sexual servitude on pain of death. Meanwhile Myne has discovered a cheap and effective alternative treatment that she never thinks to share, despite the fact that doing so would be beneficial to her own paper-manufacturing goals. |
