From the looks of it, the empress herself became a target for this "body-swapping"-- and rather than the war related PTSD, the switch would've happened after her consort's death. Also explains perfectly the weird shit she told Ludwig the other day.
It's sad that Ludwig is the only one of his siblings that never really met his actual mother, and never got to know her love... like, sure, it's not like his siblings had a *long* time with her either, but at least they knew some motherly love when they were children and their mother was in full control of her mental facilities I hope that them clinging on to these memories doesn't rinder them in believing she's (or should I say He? That body is Khan's now after all) the one behind literally every tragedy of Ludwig's life.
It's also really sad then that in his past life the only reason he wasn't completely taken as Khan's new body is that he had Olive by his side (although, uh... not out of her own volition, haha...). I don't remember 100% how old he was when past-Olive burned down their chambers, but he was probably way past the 20 years that Khan assumed it would take for him to overtake Ludwig's body. Bitch probably was LIVID.
... Actually, didn't the empress die in his past life, since he was emperor...? Hol' up I need to reread this ()
