When the empress reincarnated her only mission was to avoid lyrica going through the same path so she dedicated her life to become lily's shield and protector lowkey a spoiler but they did show lily was the last mage which gave her the ability to go back in time for her mother through a wish or manifestation (I just noticed the pattern) and fjord's path is somewhat foreshadowing on how he's going to reform or kill the traitors and pledge an alliance to the imperial family which can cause a power imbalance (they've been an anti-imperial faction) this might become the downfall of bharat and her sister will become a problem.
