There are so many loopholes. First, that troupe or military that has strict justice solely for reprimanding/executing nobles that the empire can't even hold on because it was a powerful base that was organized by Leone can't do anything about the trouble inside their merchant guild? Like many chapters had already passed and they knew that someone is a traitor inside and they didn't bother to investigate the whole thing. Like how Yureia investigate and gather evidencea for her uncle (and she didn't do the same scheme for getting the mole inside her company). Third, is that the emperor and Yureia had only few interactions and she concluded that she have feelings for him in ana instant (which is their romance is so force and rush). Fourth, the mages that ambushed her has never been caught despite the evidence was already there that Raven is associated with mages, yet they still didn't tighten their resolve and proceed to have a blind eye despite knowing their enemy were dangerous people. Plus, the shift to romance is just so annoying, I'm just so glad the fan service here is premium, we have beautiful long haired guys to entertain (but as soon as this will continue to romance route it will become MEH").
