Naah Hess should still follow up with the revenge... I want to see her downfall.... the pain Kael suffered because of them is too much just to let it go...
Besides, we can't be too sure if she won't counterattack at the last minute... I mean, she's a saintess... her god could give her a sudden buff that could turn things around...
The most ironic thing about Diana's whole situation is how she is imposing frugality on people but she is living a wealthy lifestyle.
She is wearing the highest and best quality clothes yet talks about how to be frugal. She invites people to bad quality food, as if it's a cheap treatment, but I highly doubt that she is what she is actually eating and drinking every day (it was not mentioned though).
She went for the crown prince because of higher status instead of Kael who was only a marquis. She had the audacity to think of going back to Kael as the crown prince is no longer serving as her shield and showed that he is against some of her ideas and she was ready to throw him away. Yet he still cares about her, about the royal family, about the empire's image and safety, even though I didn't like how he started showing feelings for Hess. But I respect that he put them away.
Then she is pretending to be a person with morals. She is making baby tantrums when things don't go her way.
I said it before and still say it again, I wish she wasn't that passive and dumb. It would have been better and more exciting if she was a real cunning clever antagonist. She easily falls into traps yet she is so annoying. I can't feel real happiness when Hess wins against her. If it wasn't for the obstacles the crown prince put against Hess for Diana, she wouldn't be worth her time and plans to bring her down. It feels like it's not worth the hassle to invest in the revenge against her.
