Ray should be the emperor her story should have progressed about accepting her fate as she is. She could be the royal advisor and help ray out.
The point is never about Dorothea not befitting to be the emperor. It's about her inner battle with inferiority complex and being fatherless and never resolved her issue with Ray in her past life that she was overcome with jealousy and negative feeling that she became a tyrant. Now they have healthy brother sister relationship and I think it's better that way.
Oh hey now no one can throw shit at me for liking Dulan! Come back Sir wet cat designer eye bags!
