Yep. It doesn't work if the familiar is alive. If it's dead it should work.
Henry is going to have his drinking buddy stolen.

Just think, "Modern slightly entitled teenage girl who has never had to face real consequences". Yeah, she's got a rocky road ahead of her. She honestly is lucky Henry is there to guide her because any other noble might have snapped and killed her by now regardless of the consequences.
And here Shade is going "I'm a Duke, the Marshal of Gallia, and the Prince-Consort. And I'm being insulted by a teenage girl."
Perhaps Henry shouldn't have told Joseph to go with what he thought sounded 'cool'.

True, BUT! But. I also don't think it's sunk in that the people she's dealing with would, depending on the person, have no problem torturing, then killing her for her attitude. Henry is super chill, mostly in part to his status as a reincarnation, but there's only a certain level of crap he can mitigate before things spiral out of control and he's forced into the position of having to discipline her or having someone else do it for him. Especially once the gossip invariably starts.
That said, her reaction is one that, while I find kind of believable, I also find very tiring. She's dancing on a very thin line and while it might be manageable at first, that kind of teenage bravado will have to be dealt with eventually. It's a hard thing to realize that you aren't in a safe place any more, where the law won't protect you from violent repercussions should you piss off the wrong person. Or catch the wrong eye. I suspect Miss Mallard is going to be in for a very rude, possibly painful awakening on the subject before too long. Of course, if Henry has forgotten/forgets about the whole control aspect of the Myoz runes that problem might handle itself anyway, harsh as it is to say.
I'm actually super interested in seeing where this goes.
Also am I the only person who thinks that maybe, just maybe, Sheffield wasn't Joseph's first summon? Because I can easily see Canon!Joseph just cutting Anne's throat and trying again because hell, why not?
I was right. This girl is a fucking trainwreck. She's gonna pull that muh freedom or I'm a big girl card.
She's probably an onion. An onion of angst that will somehow make Joseph feel useful.
Also skipping line to get to a big party without proper invitation. Please tell me she had friends while pulling this shit, y'know to watch her back and safety in numbers because at least she has common sense of some sort.
Else Henry's gonna have a huge irresponsible girl to deal with. I hate those kind of girls.

"So....we shack up right?"
"What?"
"Well that's what always happens in these stories. The main character gets whisked away to a fantasy world where they inevitably form a harem of attractive members of the opposite sex. And as my initial friendly guide you're the prime candidate for harem member #1."
"...I'm married."
"I'm not picky."
"Happily married. And this isn't a fantasy story. At least not anymore."
"What was that last part?"
"Nothing."

asked, turning my head to look at her.
Yeah, summoning a new familiar if the current one dies is canon - Brimir did it at least thrice to my knowledge. As to Joseph and the foulmouthed girl getting along, I would be surprised if they didn't considering the spell selects for someone you'd get along great with personality-wise.

So Joseph managed to summon someone so useless it makes him feel better by comparison? He's certainly get a laugh out of that.
He practically made a prayer for it. What was the wording he used?

And as Henry's schooling taught us, the exact wording of chants does play a highly important role in the magic.

On the plus side. Lulu is probably not gonna get Saito!

She'll probably just think he's the Halk equivalent/version of Walt Disney.
"What makes you think you're the protagonist?"
"What?"
"What?"
"You just said-"
"I didn't say anything. Clearly your barbarian ears are inferior."
"Husband, I have noticed that you have been spending rather a lot of time with this... c-commoner m-m-mistress of our foolish father!"
"Isabella, dearest, I'm only making sure that the commoner won't come to harm let alone insult someone important-"
"OH! So now you are concerned about her well being?!"
"I-"
"Oh beloved Henry, why do you scorn us so... It has been years since we have entered holy matrimony and yet you haven't even consummated our union but here you are fraternising with my fathers whore..." snif, snif.
"You got it wr-"
"Is it because this harlots name is Mallard? Has your obscene obsession with ducks gone so far that you would cast your most faithful wife away just for that? For our fathers mistress no less..."
"It appears it's time to reacquaint myself with Vallière man-cave."
"What was that?"
"Nothing..."

Wow, it is almost like being ripped from everything you know by hostile strangers and treated as a pet makes a person confrontational. She basically just was forced into slavery to a unfeeling dick with no checks on his behavior. I would have resorted to stabbing much sooner.
Random flailing and yelling isn't going to help though. In all fairness she's probably still in denial/panic mode, but if she doesn't get control of herself soon, this isn't going to end well for her.
Also, when in an unknown situation, the one thing you shouldn't do is insult the one person who is acting as your guide. Even when I was a teenager I was smarter than that, but then I guess I was no where near as entitled as this girl. *shrugs*

While this is a somewhat accurate summation of her situation, I don't think Ducky has had that sink in yet. Even a total brat should have some sense of self preservation in what she herself calls an "alien magic shit" environment.
Slavery? Not really. Unfeeling? Yeah. Hostile?
Woah. Woah. There was no hostility there. Until of course she overreacted. That's when shit went down. She didn't have time to sit and think through calmly she just jumped straight to screaming and insulting when Henry didn't give her the answer she wants.

And yet as Henry said, she is still massively lucky that she didn't get summoned by canon Louise. At least here it is someone is trying to explain things to her rathet than ignore her and/or treat her like a dumb animal.

I'm not saying she is doing the smart thing at all, just that under the circumstances acting stupid is understandable. But her actions are not solely the result of an attitude like some people are suggesting or unfounded.
And then die horribly without even being successful.
Edit: Don't get me wrong I do feel sorry for her but in this situation she has no power or "rights" except for what her "captors" give. If she does not recognise that, then well.... its going to be really painful for her.
