Why cant Lucas just meet with the late emperor, realize he's being controlled by some dude he has relations to and end this whole thing?? Why does it have to drag on like this?
I no longer want to see the royal family happy, i just want to see this story end
All of the characters, except the emperor whos not even present and lucas, are seriously starting to get on my nerves
The fun thing about these reincarnation comics is that the main characters can use the knowledge from their previous life, but athanasia atm is acting the way she looks, like a child.

    Whether reincarnated or not, you can't expect someone from a peaceful world with an average background to all of sudden be a genius at politics.

    That's not what I'm expecting. When I said knowledge, I meant the knowledge she acquired when she read the book she got reincarnated in. Thats usually really helpful for these types of protagonists, but athanasia no longer seems to be utilzing that knowledge (or rather the author of the webtoon)
    It looks like that plot point just completely lost its significance along the way

    Tbh you’re right but I think it’s also due to unreliable narrative that can be seen when books have only one perspective? Like the book states Claude left Her mother to rot away when he deflowered and impregnated her which we know that’s not the case and never hinted about anything about dark magic either. In the early chapters, athy also stated that while the empire looked at him as a hero, he actually killed his brother for power which again, we know is not true. And with the previous point, we know the nobles don’t favor claude right now bc of his commoner blood, and bc of athy’s dancer mother. Over all, the knowledge in the book is useless in her present as there’s no mention of so many things such as that really old emperor who possessed Claude’s brother, hell even Lucas, or the fact that OG athy possessed such significant mana.

    In Athy’s case it’s really different as the plot of the “book” she’s read has taken such a significant and dark turn with no mentions of these things at all so she can’t utilizes her knowledge anymore since the OG book was meant to be happy and surrounded Jeanette and it ended with Jeanette’s happy ending.
