      @karasutengu "I'd felt" = "I had felt", meaning the verb is in the past perfect tense. Thus, the "felt" here is not a simple past tense but rather a past participle. The same is true of "opened". "I'd opened" = "I had opened". The "had" there also extends to "seen" because the "and" is joining the two verbs of the compound predicate. The "I" here is performing both the actions of "had opened" and "had seen", so the two verbs must be in the same tense, past perfect.

      "I had opened and had seen" isn't technically incorrect, but it sounds stiff and awkward, which is why English allows the second "had" to be dropped!

      Can Two-Law Tyrant be changed to Two-Law Usurper? The story will explain why he's called an usurper. Plus, there will be another character that uses Tyrant, so this would help prevent confusion.

      Then Raoul heard the rumors that Luke, who had been banished to the wasteland, had built an unbelievably city in a matter of months.

      "Unbelievably" is an adverb not an adjective. Instead maybe that should be an unbelievable city or an unbelievable large city or an unbelievable X city where X is some other missing adjective.

      19% "yet you don't know a miorc is?"

      Missing word. Perhaps, "yet you don't know what a miorc is?"

      34% "Lord Peylon? What is this? Don't tell me you haven't-" 36% "Pardon me, Lord Peylon, you can forget we ever spoke."

      In the room are Lera, Lord Duval, Lord and Lady Aspozat and the new "sharp eyed" character who is identified as "Qualos."

      Is Lord Duval intentionally pretending to be Lord Peylon, or is this a mistranslation?

      Just FYI from Merriam-Webster Dictionary online:
      Sneaked is the original past tense form of sneak, but in the late 1800s, the alternative past tense form snuck began making its way into American English. It is now very common and is considered standard.

      Should that be for sparring with Tina?

      “...Lady Robur’s grasp is very refined. I’ve come to understand that it’s beyond the comprehension of a commoner like me.”
      It feels really odd for the Prince to refer to himself as a commoner. I'm presuming he's meaning only within context of the subject (an entry level understanding of the topic). Neophyte, or perhaps amateur, novice, layperson, or even hobbyist might be alternatives?

      "The first prince seems to have returned quietly."
      After saying he had left a few paragraphs back I initially thought this was saying that the prince was back already. However on rereading I suspecting it's instead intended to reinforce the previous paragraph. For clarity, perhaps replace with left/departed, or add on after returned 'to the castle'.

      Snapping back to reality, I frowned at the erotic painting the princess held. “How utterly... shameless,” I spat. I hoped she wasn’t about to start commenting on it in red pen.
      Likely just me, but the meaning of this sentence escapes me entirely.
