Headscratchers / Ciel nosurge

• I keep thinking of all sorts of things Zill could have done when she was captured by Revelt and forced to sing for him. She could have used song magic to knock out Revelt and all the guards, or if possible, transform them into kittens (what? I think of that a lot). So why did she just do what he said?
  • Zill uses her Song Magic through a G2-Tron, which be had to be manually programmed to create such a Song Magic, which also means that it's impossible for her to craft a Song Magic in a short period of time without anyone noticing. If she tried anything funny (such as singing a Hymmn or improvising a ClassDrive program with a Cielnotron or G2-Tron), Revelt and/or his guards would've recognized it and shot her on the spot before the song could take effect.
• Bit of a nitpick, but why in the Seven Dimensions did the Empress (before Ion) marry Revelt? He was such a pompous jerk, and she seemed pretty reasonable and was against his plans.
  • Political reasons due to the fact that the Tenmon was at the most advantageous position in that time. If it had been the Chimon, most likely the Empress would have married whoever was at the top of it at the time instead, such as Zill's father.
