It provides us with motivations and explain how Lucio and Rosamund ended up in this manipulative relationship. She doesn't love him, she loves the power he wields so she can exact vengeance on those who hurt her
Also? The beginning of the story with the whole family being killed was due to Rose manipulating Lucio. Rosemund had framed Nilla (since she was queen before) for treason.
Also also? There’s lots of different historical stories that state if one person in the family is to commit treason than all of the family shall suffer. Whether it be death or losing their titles. This book is just a very bleak example of what actually used to happen back then.
Though I also don’t agree with trying to get us for sympathizing with Rosemund, I feel that Lucio should still have a chance. Lucio as a child doesn’t know the definition of love and is clinging to the feeing Rosemund is giving him. He states multiple times he’ll do anything for her even if it’s harmful to himself.
Though pt 2, you’re also entitled to you own opinion but I just wanted to point so things out haha. I think Lucio could have a good Redemption arch. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
i don't think it was really a justification; more showing the readers her backstory and why she is how she is today.
Exactly. It wasn't meant to make us sympathetic to her, but only to better understand her motivations for the shit she is about to do and what she did in the previous timeline
I am not disputing that. However, we have no idea how she managed to hook her claws in Lucio and push him to kill her sweet woman like Nilla. Now that we know about both antagonists(although I do not consider Lucio an antagonist since he is the ML) we are better equipped to understand what could have brought upon the horrible fate on our protagonist family. I also believe Lucio was a victim because Rosamund used his shame/guilt as a tool. It's truly f up
Sorry, but forcing me to sympathize to the Emperor and Rosemund did not work for me. I'm sorry authornim, but this actually irritates me more. As the chapters progress, my anger just grew. This will NEVER justify killing a whole family just because you were mistreated in your childhood. Btch no, if you want revenge, do it to the people who done you wrongly. Seriously author, what reaction do you want? Because pity is no longer available. Anyways, despite of this I'll try to continue reading. Who knows, the future chapters may bring back my enthusiasm
