This is just speculation, but I think it was probably pretty easy to slip drugs to Julia because she alienated herself from Eusto and Felix
I thought she alienated herself from them bc of the drugs and the whispers of the duke while she was under the influence of the drugs?
Maybe after she came back from war, she was put to heavy drugs on a victory party of some sort causing it to stir her judgement and be manipulated by the duke. Then the duke, in hurry, suggested immediately for the people close to her to be imprisoned so that no one would figure out she is drugged that’s why no one was able to figure out she is drugged(eusto on the other hand was clouded by the change of the empress and the future of the kingdom so he couldn’t investigate with a clear head i guess). Maybe some of the other people working there were able to testify that why they got to have evidence.
What I think is Vague though is the Julia’s character in the novel. Isn’t she a great empress? I mean even though she was under the influence, sooner or later wouldn’t she realize that it’s everything is wrong? Unless of course the drug is too heavy or that she felt burdened by her responsibilities that she let it happen. But I do understand why some parts are vague cause our MC couldn’t fully recall what she read 10 years ago, but i think it would be good if those gaps are filled.
I went ahead and read the spoilers and I think this will be answered as the story progresses. So, I think we can sit back and await a great storyline (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh good, I’ll look forward to it then(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
It was never explicitly stated whether the people around her knew of her drugging or not. So I was always a bit curious about it but now that we know, I'm even more confused. How did they not know? Weren't these people (Felix, Eusto and her maid) considered close to her? How did he even get to drug her? Who brought the drug in? Was it just to drug her or did the drug serve another purpose? Urg, I'm jumping too far ahead. But I really love our Empress!! I wonder if she'll let me join her harem (づ￣ ³￣)づ
