judging by her reaction they seem to want to frame the whole thing as just an accident and there is no way someone as timid and passive like her would actually kill anyone. too bad.. she would be more interesting if it was a planned murder.
I think she might just be disagreeing with this whole image of being a cold blooded murderer who premeditated everything. It could be my wishful thinking but when the archduke said she was surely acting in self defense, Ebony seemed to be like YEs yes that!
I think, everyone is able to kill. It's just a matter of cornering people so badly that they feel they have to fight.
I hope for the plot that Ebony actually killed those two men and it wasn't just murders pinned onto her since that would be too cliché. I am all up for an heroine who's a guilty criminal fighting the patriarchy and not just another wrongly convicted person
