*** Muddying the waters even more is a story from Fran's perspective at the end of Part 4 that indicates that Margaret was still around during Ferdinand's early days at the temple, but the isolation of the orphanage director's chamber meant that her attendants didn't know much of what was going on among the other blue robes. This version of things at least has the merit of making the purge an option for Margaret's missed opportunity to rejoin noble society.

** Fran's side story from the end of Part 4 reveals that Bezewanst tried to poison Ferdinand when he first entered the temple, only to have the poison sent right back to his own kitchen. Since then, blue priests are forbidden from making their attendants enter each other's kitchens and food poisoning has disappeared from the temple.

** Probably she didn't mean "literally unable to marry anyone" but "unable to get a marriage that could be considered remotely respectible." Plenty of people would be desperate to marry her, sure, but the sort of marriage that is appropriate for a blue shrine maiden would be a deep humiliation for the family of a mednoble.

** Arno is an UnreliableNarrator, ''especially'' where Margaret is concerned. His interpretation of why she killed herself, in particular, shouldn't be taken as fact.

** At that point in the story, basically everyone who is around Myne with any regularity is loyal to him, and especially the people working in the kitchen. She wouldn't have had any opportunity to poison him - this is basically his "house."

** Devouring victims who survive long enough to be useful are extremely rare. In theory it would be possible to test every baby at childhood, but doing so would reveal that mana is much more common among commoners than the nobility insists, which would threaten their grip on power.

**He didn't trust her that much but at the same time trust her enough to not test for poison because she can't hide it and shows everything on her face. She also needed him to protect her.
Added DiffLines:
***The answer is simple: She had a child with a commoner, meaning her mana is just that low(since having a child meant the mana capacity of the two are similar), she is so despair that she killed herself while pregnant. It has nothing to do with the purge nor simply sleeping with grey priests, it is specifically being pregnant from it showing the seriously lack of mana.

**Translation issue. The WN talks about Zasha duing Rosina's coming of age because Myne asked Lutz what Zasha got as present, not about Zasha coming of age soon.

** Noble society is built around tradition, not by doing the most pragmatic thing. If tradition says that a woman should be married by a certain age and she isn't, then in the eyes of noble society there must be something wrong with her.

was the entry writer, only noticed the mistake just now

* During her baptism, Myne's narration states that Zasha is going to "reach adulthood" the next day. However, while asking around for ideas for Rosina's coming of age gift the following winter, Myne assumes "Zasha must be coming of age soon", which suggests it hasn't happened yet. Did the author forget the first statement when she wrote the first one? Was there a translation issue in either instance?

** It's possible that her family didn't have enough money to spend on the noble education of all of their children and Margaret was either the child with the least mana, so she wasn't worth investing on, or she just had less mana than expected by her station, also it could be that she was the child of a wife who passed away and her stepmother decided to send her away so her own children could be prioritized... Or maybe the orphans were not the first young boys she had molested and her family disowned her by sending her to the temple as punishment, after all it is a sad truth that children are most likely to get sexually abused by family members or close family friends than by strangers.

In Part 2 Volume 2, Ferdinand visits the orphanage director chambers and gifts Myne bedding and instruments. She offers him tea and cookies, which Ferdinand enthusiastically eats. In retrospect, this seems weird considering that Eckhart later reveals that Ferdinand is actually justifiably paranoid about poison, but when he visits Myne he doesn't let her test the cookies for poison, nor does he teach her about poison testing or does it when they later have lunch. While the tea poison test can be handwaved by the fact that it's Fran who prepared the tea, the cookies were made in Myne's kitchen. At that point Ferdinand didn't see Urano's memories yet, so he didn't fully trust her yet. The obligatory poison test for nobles is introduced in Volume 3 when Karstedt invites Ferdinand to dinner at his estate, so that seems to be an oversight of the author that she forgot to correct in the light novel adaptation.
