Bibliophile Princess also had a very similar reversal of the trope with someone accusing her of bullying and the Prince's men unraveling the scheme and proving that it never happened

Also it's kind of funny finding out that there are enough people who clearly haven't met Anis that think she's a better fit for the throne, and that's really getting to him.

It's also interesting that the king also thinks that Anis would be a better fit for the throne and he's aware that she's been deliberately playing up her ditzy persona to hide that fact

Completely-out-of-left-field dumb prediction: the prince's new fiancee or someone backing her were somehow responsible for releasing the dragon, it was a ploy to make him look heroic & princely

What if she (speculation) IS THE DRAGON!?

I think that's only an option if Anis keeps up her streak and seduces the dragon.

I don't know, if it's self contained in one light novel I could see it. I don't think that's what's going to happen, even if Anis needs a kick in the teeth to get serious about things. Having to fight her own brother should do that just fine.

Whatever happens she's going to come out of this fight with the realisation that ceding the throne to her brother was a super bad idea and she needs to fix that poo poo

Not really sure what Algard's big brain plan was here? He wanted to secure his throne to gain the ability to destroy the kingdom so his sister, who was far superior to him, could get the recognition she deserved. But also fought her in an honest to god fight that could have killed her after injuring a girl she was protecting in such a way that it would normally have killed her? Was the whole plan to get himself killed so she could inherit the throne instead of him?

Seems… not very well-thought-out?

Don't forget that the plan was for the conspirators to keep Anisphia distracted at the Magic Academy while the prince steals Lainie's magicite, they were trying to avoid a confrontation. They may have been counting on using the vampiric charm powers to influence everyone including Anis afterwards.
