Yes, you're right. And that's why they're amazing. Those who manipulate the Marinettes like the Emperors to gain their favor are just witches... but those who manipulate while remaining in the shadows for now are actually very strong and brilliant. I really like the Empress too. She puts up with a horrible and unjust Emperor for his children, whose lives are always a threat... I so want to read the rest!!!

This story has been amazing from the start.
I love them all.
At first, I wasn't happy about the romance between the Duke and Varia, but now I love it.
And what I love even more is how strong the women are.
They seem weak and submissive, like the Empress or even Varia, who struggled so much… but in reality, they're fantastic.
I really love it.
