I think that the emperor gifted them the gown of the previous grand Duchess, which was not in good terms with the former Grand duchess - it’s making a mockery out of them because of the current grand Duchess married to the grand Duke
Like it’s a reminder of their bloodline loss and trauma yk
Since they’re welcomingbsomeone new
Aside from that, nothing bothers me more than that creepy ass princess that’s literally a fucking rapist
This is the royal family to kind Grand Duke, and the current grand Duchess (pinkie)
By gifting the dress
This is why the former grand Duchess, at the end of the episode, announces that she’s going to secure the position of the grand Duchess for the current grand duchess -
If you look back at the first episode, it’s foreshadowing to the exact moment that she’s talking about
They’re going to butter up the current grand Duchess in public, and make everyone believe that they all love her and adore her and that she’s truly a part of their family - giving the idea to the imperial family that they could not break them apart
Even with stupid, silly gestures like that crappy dress lol
The previous grand Duke uniform is what they sent. They just added revisions to it - they made it a little inappropriate for that time, I guess you could say the collarbone was showing
It’s a little mocking to wear yk
Especially since the former grand Duchess was married to him and he died
I’m sorry for any confusion that’s what meant
Who is the former grand duchess and who is not in good terms with whom? I thought the old lady, Gloria, is the former grand duchess. But they all seem to be in good terms right now. And the one Gloria will secure the position for is the FL (I somehow forget her name)?
