Fr, i genuinely think if the circumstances were different and she were Tia’s age or younger then she’d easily become the head of her own family and just do it herself. It’s pretty implied through the story that her own family pushed her to marry the king even though she wanted to be the matriarch of her own family and was the most capable child. Now she’s settled for ruling the family from the position of empress and trying to take control of the imperial family as well to prove herself. She’s a super interesting character

Well, she does care for her child, in a twisted way that is. Idk if they’ll change it here in the manhwa, but in the novel it was later revealed that she was, in fact, still a mother after all. She definitely couldn’t care less about her other family members, though. What she did to her brother in the novel was so cruel, It was frankly terrifying to read. Still, you can’t deny her intelligence and strong resolve is admirable. She wanted to be a matriarch like Tia, but circumstances weren’t in her favor, and she was forced to marry instead.
Argue with a tree but if this was from the pov of the queen, I'd probably be on her side. She is super intelligent and ruthless and definition of girlboss who despite her circumstances rose to power. Don't get me wrong, I am rooting for Tia and Perez and I think Astana and the the eldest Lombardi are turd but the queen is just *chefs kiss* of a woman.
