I've noticed many comments from people who don't understand why Philomel behaves this way or why she doesn't believe in the emperor's words. If you examine it closely, he only liked her because of the mask she wore and grew fond of her due to her resemblance to the late empress through her facade. Additionally, it's not surprising that she would be afraid after enduring a brutal death in her previous life, where her father never loved her and she was surrounded by terrible individuals. Her paranoia about everything stems from her fear of death.
exactly. phil was just a child when she heard that words. and she has firmly stated that living with the emperor feels like hell for her. the emperor is 100% at fault, and its his job to convince phil.
