"I'm sure the king was protecting you all this time"
I mean, I don't want to sound rude, but that sounds like bullshit, how exactly is it that the king/former hero couldn't have directly helped his friend and taken away the empress's authority, if you ask me what she did to the saint/former hero would have been enough to execute her.
They announced the consort as "Empress Dowager" when she entered the ballroom?* I feel like the only reason they announced her like that was to disrespect the empress, the title doesn't fit at all (she's not a widow). I swear the consort has her hand so far up the emperor's ass she could puppeteer him like a muppet.
*This comes from someone who knows nothing of royal/noble etiquette, but it looks disrespectful af to me.
it's probably a translation error and they announced her as empress consort which would have been fine
Just watch the author say "they weren't JUST friends, they were best friends, like sisters", lmao.
You know, it's nice to see she was planning to kill the emperor all along and wasn't just torturing the empress due to misplaced feelings, or because she couldn't touch the emperor due to his status/power. Nicina might be a B, but she's consistent and I appreciate that. Also, the emperor deserved that, get fucked bro, lmao.
"You hate me, don't you? When facing the kidnappers 2 years ago, you only stopped me. With your skills, it should have been easy to stop the both of us at the same time."
Holy shit, I didn't even realize the heroine could've stopped both of them, not just Alicia.
I saw Scarlet being the descendant of the crownless queen, but I wasn't expecting her father to have planned her execution, I get it was for the good of the country, but damn that's cold.
"If she goes to war and wins she'll be looked at as a hero and won't be shunned anymore" You mean like the first hero, the tyrant killer, founder of the land, and king-maker who you garbage people ostracized so hard he ended himself? His people probably didn't even reward him after all he did, yeah I'm sure history won't repeat itself *eye roll*. I know everything went well, but realistically that was a dumb ass excuse.
Also, fuck her parents, oh she went to war and she's white now (which is a whole thing in itself), let's make amends. Ugh, so happy she told them to fuck off.
You know, this would've been the perfect time to tell the prince/imperial family about Collette being a demon, her credibility is pretty high right now, there's a person unrelated to her claiming to have been affected by a mysterious phenomenon and her father would most likely support this claim.
Also, by telling now she could've helped this innocent guard who is probably going to lose his job.
Yes but it's not gonna happen unfortunately ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
The author is gonna drag this on
Fr tho and even if they didn't believe her immediately, it would raise the ppls awareness of the situation and they'd actually keep an eye on her
Can someone just kill the brother already? Every time I see him and his self-inflicted insecurities I want to punch him.
And since we're at it kill the ex-fiance as well, yeah, yeah, it was all a ploy of the prince, that's why he took the ex-fiances love, so he could manipulate them and help in killing the MC, but idgaf, fuck him for helping in the assassination.
