but it's _in_ march, not _on_
no, it's preponed, it's a month earlier, not later
'You could barely pass last time', to make the grammar of this sentence correct (other possibility, 'You barely passed last time' (why don't people use the free version of Grammarly?)

From her profile it looks like the author is from the Philippenes, maybe it's possible that they call toes fingers over there? Complex country when it comes to language, Filipino and English are the official languages and only a third speaks Filipino as a native language? And they don't all speak English either. I don't think English is the authors first language either. Or grammar rules are different in the Philippenes.

beating someone locked up like could mean he gets free or a lighter sentence and you'd be charged with assault, we all know that right? would be weird if that wasn't the case in this world
It's a simple passive tense so it's 'it was confirmed'. A similar mistake happened before in another chapter so I thought maybe I should mention. Your grammar is almost always correct.
After the word 'beside', no comma should be placed because in this case, it looks like he's speaking to Florent. And then the word beside wouldn't make sense and it should be aside.

I'm just thinking, what if the king somehow thinks Alex passed away way earlier? Or doesn't exist. I think it's very suspicious good food stopped coming after Elizabeth's death. Could be because he thought nobody was there anymore. When did Alex's mother pass away again? Was that before or after Elizabeth's death. The king stopped visiting after that. Would he have done that if he knew their kid was still there? What has Claus been telling the king? Could it be that he wanted Alex as his secret pawn?
but the satisfaction of knowing revives it~ 😌 (that's actually the second part of the full proverb, but it's been rather forgotten (similar to 'the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb')
Hindsight doesn't actually mean what the author thinks it means (it actually doesn't have much to do with sight, even though the word suggests otherwise) - maybe using the free app grammarly could help avoid mistakes like these as they're quite frequent, which comes with being not a native speaker. The story's still fun though!
