Volume 3 picks up with Rae and Clair at odds for the knighthood competition. We get more focus on the boy characters here which I am not particularly found of but I imagine it's to establish more of their characters for later events.

Rae and Clair's relationship is advancing and it's a very sweet volume with some very fun and well drawn action. I wish there was more tapping into the gender politics at hand for the crossdressing cafe but perhaps that would be tipping the hand too much for later events, I am not sure but I would have loved to see more things about gender.

Rae is really adorable, getting a little bit more focus on Misha is fun, overall I think it was a really good time and it sets the ground work for the next volume with the commoners revolt beginning. I think this volume is mostly valuable in it's place as a building block and moving characters forward as well as establishing a new club for Rae, Clair, and the princes to all be in together.

Volume 3 wasn't the massive leap forward from Volume 2 but it mostly hits on par and I look forward to volume 4 whenever I can get it.
