I remember this being sad. Though the princess meant well, communication really was important. And as Burckhardt's superior, she should have noticed or paid more attention to his behavior. Maybe if she did, something like that tragedy would have been avoided. That said, I don't blame her for that either. If anything, Burckhardt was just somehow fated to go that way. Especially given his prejudices and inferiority that he wasn't quite willing to face and fix. On the other hand, Aram keeps growing, little by little, both as a character and a soldier. It's pretty good, honestly, like watching your own kid grow and learn more about the world and the people around them. I say it's because his character is pretty endearing, which was why I enjoyed watching this series, and this episode highlighted it pretty well.
