I honestly don't understand where this plot is heading anymore. I feel like it's a total mess. And some added stuff was meaningless for the plot. Like, what's the point of Merlin stealing poison & drinking it herself up to the point that it might be her last breath. It doesn't change the situation of the FL at all.

That was to be expected. As I told on my last comment, this isn't over yet (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜 "The Queen" & that fake family of hers. She still accepts them as family after 3 lifetime?! The way they treated her the same on all of them, she never learns....
As long those folks are still around, she may never be happy. Whether underground or on the surface. I think the only happiness the author would give, is probably the final chapter LOL
Why stop there? ( ̄へ ̄)
