The adventurers escorting her were already on the fence about their beliefs regarding nobles when they served under Van, and were convinced to reconsider their opinions greatly when they see her at work protecting territory that would have never been hers, even though her own parents disowned her, being willing to go to the front lines herself!

When Van, Til, and Arut are at a round table conference regarding the war with Jienretta, and Jalpa's mysterious absence from the front lines, sending Yard and Sesto in his place, Arut posits the fact that Jienretta might, just might, be pressuring the supposedly neutral country of Shelba to allow troops to march through and attack the Fertio territory. Murica, when the border fortress he's running comes under attack, comes to the same conclusion in a meeting with King Dino.

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: He and Arut, despite having very different upbringings, and being several days by horse apart, come to the same conclusion regarding Jienretta's long-term strategy of a two-pronged attack.

After the dragons were defeated, and their dilapidated homes were repaired, they have no qualms going to the battlefield, and even spared the attacking bandits that surrendered, though Van promised said bandits would still be held accountable under the law.

* BlatantLies: When he's asked by his two elder brothers Yard and Sesto why he's not heading to the front lines on the most recent push into Jienretta, rather than list his already impressive list of accomplishments, Van goes "I have to stay and protect my underdeveloped city or it might fall." Both Yard and Sesto look at the impressive fortress walls and mounted ballista and go "yeah, right", at which point Van strokes their ego by stating that his city is nowhere near as impressive as the cities he heard they're in charge of. They both laugh and puff themselves off and then start grumbling out of earshot because they can't admit that they both brought their respective cities to the brink of ruin by mismanagement.

* NeverMyFault: After seeing Seat village and then Murica village border fortress, both brothers curl their fists in a jealous rage, but Sesto openly convinces himself that Van's success was all just a matter of luck and if he had got [Production Magic] instead, he would have done much better than Van possibly could. He conveniently forgets that the day Van's talent was revealed as such, their father Jalpa went for his sword, he openly mocked Van's "disappointing" talent, and how he was given one of the most prosperous cities in Fertio territory to rule and single-handed ran it into the ground. It's likely that if either of these two brothers had gotten such a "useless" magic, only death would have awaited them.

For her part, Panamera finds the whole thing rather amusing and agrees, ribbing him mercilessly.

The would be assassins manage to flee the first time in the middle of the night. The second time, they were foolish enough to attack Van's sleeping chamber, set up in an underground maze '''right beneath the king's own bed''', in a secluded basement under the fancy building Van set up for King Dino. Van wakes up the next morning after the failed attack to find that Panerma's knights had captured them all. King Dino was quite displeased.

And that's not taking into account the quality of the weapons, armor, and ammunition he always builds in his spare time.

* SlaveLiberation: Of the "buy them and free them" variety, out of EnlightenedSelfInterest. When the war with Jienretta begins to really heat up and he finds his village needing more people, not only does he use his merchant connections to hold recruitment drives, he also buys up debt and criminal slaves guilty of minor offenses to staff his village and army, and he offers freedom to the especially talented in exchange for fealty and aid in territory development. The slaves in question see this ''as paradise.'' He doesn't recruit war-slaves, at the advice of the merchants, due to the very real risk of betrayal.

** Averted in one respect. Jalpa resents Dee for abandoning his post and going off to join Van's village. Yet, he never goes after Van for it because it's common in the kingdom of Scuderia for nobles to poach knights from each other with better job conditions, and Jalpa has done it himself. He grudgingly admits that Dee has traded up when he sees how prosperous Seat village is with his own eyes.
