Idk I believe in the present more than the future so she's helping them rn so it's good deed. She's not gonna be there to harm people later so she's still better than the emperor. He's not aware Etienne is omega right? He's denying him emperor position just cause he hates her wife (which is acceptable bc she took advantage of him this one time instead of the typical emperors having a dozen concubines & not even feeling guilty) anyway she's doing it bc emperor is being a lil insecure shit so i have chosen a side & that is with the emperess rn. Later idk what will happen

I think you missed the underlying message. She was telling the nobles to support her and force commoners to give her more earnings. She’s fixing the river cause it hurts the harvest. Harvest = food/money. So she’s gonna make commoners do all the farm work and then have them give her the harvest, aka less food for the people. It’s the beginning of overtaxing the people and tyranny.
Cmon man that's your soon to be mother-in-law lmao I just saw how she helped people in order to make good goodwill for Etienne & now you're gonna be talking about overthrowing her *a lil dissatisfied with the route* atleast the douche king was better option to overthrow
