· Can Ange disguise as anyone else?
→ It's easy because they have similar faces. Disguising as anyone other than the Princess is difficult.

· Princess said she was in the mood for Eliya Tea, what kind of tea is it?
→ Tea leaves that come from Nuwara Eliya region of Sri Lanka.

→ Basically there is no age limit, but there was a movement to stop children from drinking alcohol

· How can Ange listen to so many people at once?
→ He was never measured accurately but maybe she is like Prince Shotoku? (Laughs)

Episode 5
· What is the relationship between the Kingdom of Albion and Japan? Why is the treaty not good for them?
→ Once the Kingdom and Japan signed a treaty, it was a treaty that was disadvantageous for Japan. Horikawa visited the kingdom as preliminary negotiations for amending the treaty.

・Horikawa is doing good for Japan, why did jubei betray him?
→ Jubei thought the actions of Lord Horikawa disobeyed the will of the former shogunate. The meaning of the revenge is also because the former shogunate resisted Horikawa before he was the Lord.

Episode 7
· How good is Beatrice at tinkering with machines?
→ She can handle steam punk machines pretty well. However, she still has weak points.

· Princess had infiltrated without changing her face, but how was she not recognized?
→ Most people know cultural knowledge. People in the laundry factory do not receive sufficient education, they do not read the newspaper because the literacy rate is low, so they wouldn't be accquainted with the face of the Princess.

· Mary Jen was often eating bread, but what kind of bread does she like?
→ She was eating hard bread. I do not understand because I have never eaten delicious bread.

→ There may have been some speculation but he works alone.

· Beato was frightened seeing the body that was killed with poison gas, but how do you die?
→  It is a more cruel way to die

· In the end, was the poison gas reservoir in the wall of London?
→ It is in a special warehouse in the wall.

· How much does the Princess have at her disposal
→ Princess has fourth succession right. It's mostly a ceremonial title, authority and wealth do not play a big role. The queen who cares about her granddaughter is giving away a part of the Royal territory and is free to use some of the income from its territory. Princess is wise to invest in a company to earn some income. Because fees and expenses for hospitality for the guests come out of her own pockets, her investment will earn her around 10 million yen a year.

· Do men in this age not do their own laundry?
→ If it's in a battlefield, a soldier would do it, but the recognization of women's work was strong. Washing was very difficult because it was hard to secure a water supply. Washing was hard work but gradually became easier as laundry soap and etc became into mass production. In suburbs, villages and the like, ladies gather and wash in the washing area along the river called Wash House. It seems that there were many cases that wealthy people in urban areas hired a washing assistant. I think that it was a big part in the aspect of women's economic independence with laundering at factories and getting income
in such times.

Episode 8
・ What is the origin of the name Chloe?
→ It is the result of choosing a common name that doesn't leave an impression.

・ What is the orphanage Stamford Hill?
→ It is a place that exists in London

・ What are the stories such as "Whale in the flying sky" or "A man who became a box"
→ It seems to be a collection of stories Ange read when she was the Princess.

・Beato was able to do lip reading, was it the results of her training? Is she able to do anything else?
→ The disassembly of tools is still not very good(?). Beato can handle simple guns that are easy to use. Beato is still working hard with her training at tailing and decryption

・ What kind of personality did Ange have in her childhood?
→ Imagine it by watching the show.

・ What happened to Ange who went the the republic side after this?

→ If he is alive or not is unknown.

・ And the parents of the real Charlotte(now Ange)?
→ They were killed in the revolution

・ Who was the man Juli was calling her master?
→ It was not her father. Instead he provides beds for orphans they are criminals who do things such as pickpocketing.

・Don't you think this work has way too many terrible fathers?
→ If you have a good father, it's almost impossible for a woman to become a spy. Maybe a terrible father is one of the causes for becoming a spy. It is the story of a spy girl. So it is more likely that your father or parents grew up in such a home as well.

・ You can't enter the orphanage without a letter of introduction?
→ After the Industrial Revolution, the city developed rapidly and the gap between the rich and the poor and unemployed workers there was a influx of orphans. They were doing other things instead of picking up children who did not have a family. Because of this situation, there were times when they formed a gangs to survive on the street among orphans and did criminal activities more than adults. Some people founded orphanages to manage the situation but it was strict, difficult and impossible to save all the orphans in large amounts. There is no choice but to take in a limited number of people to take care of, in some cases it is easy to accept someone if they have a letter of recommendation from a person you trust.

・ What are the seven languages the Princess can speak?
→ In addition to the classical langauge which are taught in general education, the royal side required foreign languages which are necessary for diplomacy as the royal family. For example, Iberian, Burgundian and Latin. (It says Eastern Carolingian here but wiki says the official langage was Latin)

Episode 9
・ Chise, you said you left Japan 4 months ago, so It's actually been quite a while since you moved into Queen's Mayfair school
→ At that time it took about 3 months to travel between Japan and London. Things happened right when I came to the kingdom and I immediately moved in after that. Therefore, It has not even been one month since I moved in.

・ Who is Chise's sister? What is your age and occupation?
→ She is the daughter of a samurai. The age difference between Chise and her is only a few years. Perhaps she is already married

・ Does Chise always carry around the pickled turnip that she used to request the duel?
→ The food in London is not good, so she took it with her to eat when she was hungry.

→ He is currently stationed at a diplomatic facility in the kingdom. He is working to make peace with the kingdom, but also have connections to the republic side and to decide which side we should take.

・ Where did Ange get the knowledge about Japanese customs that were completely being misunderstood?
→ She got it from a Japanese knowledge book that is currently circulating in London. From the point of view of London, Japan is a country of strange customs and a completely different culture.

・Lily was spying on the Princess but who are you? A trained spy?
→ Under the orders of the secret police, there are students that monitor the Princess and report her activities every day. They have not received any spy training. It would not be misleading to say that they are ordinary people.

Episode 10
・ How long before Dorothy becomes helplessly drunk?
→ Dorothy gets drunk but she doesn't drink herself unconscious. She probably isn't bottomless either

・ What was the prefect injecting herself with?
→ It is a bad drug that you should not use.

・ Ange said the prefect was not her friend but is that really true? Is it not just one of Ange's usual lies?
→ She did not think of the prefect as a friend. She understood that the friend of the prefect was Dorothy and not herself.

・ Why did the prefect betray them?
→ The prefect was struck by a drug that was a scheme of the secret police under the authority of Normandy. They now held a weakness over her and she ended up becoming a double agent.

・ What happened to the other people who were training on The Farm? It was said that only 3 remains so what happened to the others?
→ There are some theories but it is said they've trained anywhere from 500 to 2000 spies in 4 years. However, when a large number of spy candidates are educated together, there is a risk that one spy can be arrested by an enemy country. The information of other classmates will be leaked and the others who are lurking in other countries will be captured. Therefore, it is ideal to make many classes away from the main training area to reduce as much information as possible. Even if one gets caught the information leak will be small and only amount to a small amount of sacrifices. However, there is a limited number of teaches so if you many too many classes you won't have enough teachers. The number of classes is decided by the numbers of teachers taking the number of spy candidates into account. Depending on the situation, Ange only had to think about 20 to 40 students in her class. Classmates may be sent to enemies countries and die there. Your name and status are changed when you go on special missions. Even your classmates will not know your whereabouts and you are considered socially dead. The 3 people who are here just means that they are alive and on duty on the same mission. By the way, the name Farm was adopted from Camp Peary which was the alias for the training camp for the CIA
