Mofa Gongzhu de Xiao Fannao [Season1 Episode13: The Princess With No Magic But a Secret]

“Who Made Me a Princess” Episode13: When Palace Drama Swaps for Magical Action (And Lucathy Stans Ate Good)

If you thought “Who Made Me a Princess” (aka “Mofa Gongzhu de Xiao Fannao”) was just about Athanasia schmoozing her tyrant dad to avoid execution, episode13 threw that playbook out the window—and fans are screaming into their pillows over it. This episode is a wild ride: think magical bows, jealous wizards, monster fights, and a love triangle that’s finally heating up. Let’s break down why it’s the series’ most hype installment yet.

First, a quick recap for anyone who’s been living under a rock: Athy’s a reincarnated princess stuck in a story where her dad Claude kills her. Up until now, she’s been playing the cute, innocent kid to stay alive—but episode13 says “screw that” and turns her into a magical warrior.

The episode kicks off with a monster attack, and let’s just say the action sequences slapped. Fans are raving about the moment Athy pulls out a glowing bow out of nowhere—like she’s channeling her inner Madoka Magica character (one fan even called that nod out, and they’re so right). The monster fight was “super hype” (per a MyAnimeList comment), and with Shadow’s help, Athy took that beast down like a boss. For anyone tired of palace drama, this shift to action was a breath of fresh air—one fan even said, “Who cares about palace drama when there are big monsters to kill?” Fair point.

But let’s be real: The star of the show was the Lucathy content. Lucas, the OP wizard who’s low-key obsessed with Athy, showed up with major jealous boyfriend energy when he saw her talking to Ijekiel (the sweet noble who’s also got a crush). The tension between the two boys was unreal: Lucas got salty when Athy mentioned Ijekiel was taller than him (relatable), and he looked so smug when Athy chose him over Ijekiel for a task. Fans are losing it over their dynamic—one commenter joked, “Lucas has a detector to know whenever another guy’s talking to Athy,” and that’s 100% accurate. The love triangle is finally in full swing, and we’re here for every messy, petty moment.

Another win: Athy’s magic finally became useful! For episodes, we’ve watched her fumble with spells, but this time she used her powers to create that bow and take down the monster. Fans are calling this her “girlboss moment”—one commenter said, “Very cool to see some of her actual improvements in magic be useful. Solid episode—5/5.” It’s about time she stopped just hiding and started fighting back!

Of course, no episode is perfect. Some fans noticed minor animation dips—like a scene where Athy’s legs swapped places while walking in the library (oops) or general quality drops in a few moments. But most agreed the excitement overshadowed these flaws. There’s also been a tiny fandom drama about Lucas’s age (he’s an adult, Athy looks like a kid), but let’s be honest—this is anime. Most fans are just here for the ship vibes, not to overthink it (though a few are arguing, but that’s fandom life).

And let’s not forget the mystery: Jeanette (Athy’s half-sister) thought she saw Claude in the dark mage who popped up this episode. Fans are speculating like crazy—Is the dark mage connected to Claude’s past? What’s his endgame? It’s the kind of tease that makes you count down the days until the next episode.

Overall, episode13 proved this series is more than just cute father-daughter moments. It’s got action, drama, and ships that keep you glued to the screen. Whether you’re here for Lucathy’s petty banter, Athy’s badass magic bow, or the dark mage mystery, this episode has something for everyone.

If you haven’t watched it yet—what are you waiting for? And if you have, get ready to rewatch those Lucathy scenes 100 times (we won’t judge). Episode13 was a game-changer, and it’s clear the series is just getting started. Can’t wait to see what chaos goes down next!
