Lots of (VERY WARRANTED) criticism about the Queen, but I wanted to explain about the foresight ability of the royal family.
There's apparently three types of foresight, all of which come up in the story. (Least to most important.)
- Vanishing Future, which mostly comes up as dreams that show the original plot of the game. No one remembers the contents of these dreams; they're just disturbing nightmares. (I'm blaming the guys seeing these dreams on Tiara, but it hasn't been confirmed yet if she's actually responsible.)
- Alterable Future, which is slightly uncommon. Most of the time things still happen, but in a different way. Like if you prevent a murder only for them to die in an accident a week later. Pryde is a Big Deal because she manages to avoid the tragedy altogether (probably because she's usually the main cause).
- Unavoidable Future, which is supposedly the most common type of vision but only really comes up once in the novel.
. . . spoiler example . . .
Pryde becoming an enemy that threatens the country is the biggest example of an unchangeable future. All three people with foresight ability (Rosa/Pryde/Tiara) have seen this future and know that it cannot be avoided, and deal with it in their own way. Rosa ignores it (and Pryde), Pryde works to mitigate the collateral damage, and Tiara gets stronger to protect Pryde.
There ARE reasons why Pryde loses it and attacks the country, it makes sense, and it gets resolved...and the Queen feels like an idiot because she missed at least six years of her daughter's life for No Reason. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
