Anyways, in conclusion I just strongly believe that this is all the crown prince fault and he is shit.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk :)
I still feel a bit off on Helena because her actions to some extent did affect eris in some way but she won't recognize it. Like during the time where eris was wrongly accused of slapping her when she didn't and Helena just said nothing and let the prince do whatever he wanted. Ofc doesn't justify the stuff eris has done but everything eris has done is with a reason and it's a bit annoying how Helena hasn't realized it until now because she had assumed she was the only one having a hard time when eris for all those years was also suffering along side her. That being said the main cause of all this is the prince so I just hope he gets fucked in the future. Gtfo blonde mf (︶︿︶)＝凸
Of course, I also think it was pretty bad of her to not say anything in that moment. She could have said what happened and try to help Eris. But I also think that the pet behavior that the prince has inculcate in her is really strong, so she isn’t really familiar with the concept of standing for herself and less others. Of course that by saying this I’m not justifying the fact that she did nothing, but I just want everyone to remember that the one and only one that is fucking shit up, and deserves to be slapped in the face by a truck, is the crown prince :)
And in regard of Eris, I don’t think that her actions in the past were that justified. I mean, she did what she did because she saw first had how someone was privileged over her for no reason and she was treated like shit. She lived an injustice, but I don’t think that the right answer was to bully Helena for it. This new Eris just ignores Helena and tries not to be close to her, because she knows what would happen in the future. The og Eris didn’t knew anything of that, and because she didn’t could do anything to the crown prince, she took it out on Helena. She was a kid, and she was acting like one :/
I don’t feel that bad for Helena, but I still can understand her situation. I think that one thing that you all aren’t seeing is that Helena literally couldn’t refuse the emperor’s orders, and she couldn’t refuse the crown prince either because he is well... the crown prince, and she is literally just a maid. I saw some comments saying that she was privileged, and in some point she was, but I think it was more of a pet privilege. I think it was the kind of privilege that doesn’t treat you bad but it also doesn’t give you the freedom to chose. Come on, if the prince wanted he could already made Helena a noble as some of you are saying, and if he really wanted it, not even Helena would have been able to refuse, but there’s the thing, he didn’t wanted to make her a noble right away, because (I think) he knew that by maintaining Helena as a maid would give him completely control over her. Of course, that doesn’t mean then that our precious Eris was a bad person or even a villainess, I just think that both of them were children in difficult situations without the power or control over their lives to choose.
