After going through the chapters and comments, you just have to admit while the imperial father and brother treated og Shu horribly due to misunderstanding upon misinformation and being lied to both in the past and present about Shu's real identity, those two truly does care now that they know the truth in the current timeline while the possessed Shu only knows the past and not the fact her birth started out with a lie that the imperial duo knew about when they heard the baby was a prince that died, not a princess. They have every right to do their best to make amends for the lost time but it is up to the current Shu to take the information in and deal with it how she pleases. I would honestly be fine if she keeps both families who do love her and want what is best for her.
Honestly, her father may have been a cruel man in the past and only turned back time for the sake of the Empire, although after reading the latest chapters I don't think that was the whole truth to begin with, he made some redemption here and there and being there for Keira, better late than never. I would still have a hard time forgiving him but with his effort of trying to protect her properly even though he should have done it from the start, he deserves a second chance
I get her willingness to help and be useful to Kay after discovering she is a relic sorcerer. However, she didn't take into account how he would feel or those who love her feelings if she were to sacrifice so much of her life to build what her husband wants. It's commendable to want to be useful even knowing the risks, but Kay is seeing beyond them and doesn't want to use her like that at all. He cares for her, loves her, she has already been out for a week, so why put her through more than she can handle?
Yes,you said it well. I just wanna add that to be useful you have to be more capable, knowledgeable and gain more strength. She only used the relic twice in a day and it caused her a week to sleep,sleep that is comparable to death. I understand the husband's concern because he loves her so much and she did not understand that. What if instead of being useful she will end up as being a burden to him and their people? She have to learn more about her power so that she can prepare the aftermath. If she's able to handle it then she's capable of helping him into the battlefield.
To me, from the first timeline, the emperor disliked Shuelina due to not having spirit power just like any other member of the royal family, but he and the brother were manipulated to think like that because it was the red head princess who actually stolen the power. It's not exactly per say their fault...
In this timeline, we figured out at first, the emperor was told his child was a prince that died. From the very beginning, he was lied to and believed after legitimate confirmation that "he" was dead. After realizing that child isn't dead, he clearly cares for the child and wanted to find her but couldn't because of the events that happened. He found the orphanage but saw it was already fixed so cue in his confusion when Archduke told him she was miserable before he adopted her. Emperor doesn't know the full picture just yet but he will stop at nothing to get his daughter back (can't say I blame him, he does genuinely love the child despite what we have witnessed in the first timeline) and he knows the red headed empress is behind this.
I honestly can say, the og family were victims of liars and manipulation. The current Shuelina only knows so much and doesn't know that her og Family actually do love her. I would truly pick both families, she is a princess either way as in ducal households, daughters are also called noble princesses instead of royal princesses.
Even with malnourishment and abuse, put that aside for a quick moment, teenage and adult females can literally be that short and it's even more salt to the wound if they have a baby face.
Either from a growth disorder or naturally, my grandma is literally her height and she was always fed properly and never abused.
As someone who was in her mid 20s during the pandemic and was promptly rejected from entering a store because "children younger than 13 were not allowed access" I feel the pain of being short and having a baby face and the muuuuultiple comments about the relationship being innapropiate because she LOOKS like a child made me laugh.
Y'all know it DOES happen in real life, yes???
She is giving me the short queen representation I deserve (● ̄(エ) ̄●)
I am sorry, but if my family member, such as my grandmother no less, gave it to me straight and released the cold, hard truth... I would have stopped whatever I obsession I have accumulated (although, depending really on the obsession, but let's just say it was something like this manga for an easier example). I would never have the slightest urge to leave my room ever again except for food, bathroom if my room doesn't have its own, or needing the good ole outdoors and vitamin D that I'm already lacking.
Shinobu is a sad excuse for a human being and a woman. She is so high on her pride and need to be the best and better than everyone else, I wouldn't be surprised if death was the option chosen because no one in their right mind would let that thing stay alive after what she is plotting against Nanao.
Props to the grandmother for not judging Nanao after hearing why she goes to the hospital. She saw the pure kindness and empathy in Nanao that not a lot noblewomen in that era possesses.
The fucking reason the Crown Prince, who's name I don't bother remembering at all, has personal vendetta against Christina who used to treat him practically horribly, and put her under house arrest for something she allegedly do without a single proof except for one witness is wild. At this point, it's really a she said/they said scenario. It's so stupid. Literally so stupid to have personal feelings when a literal crime has been performed and the only one that makes sense was the old Christina who perhaps would be the type to do but as we went through the story previously, we learned that the old Christina isn't stupid enough to do serious crime. Sure, she is rude and all but it comes with the territory of being rich and spoiled on most noblewomen.
I feel bad for both Christinas. To be accused of two different crimes that she didn't admit to or even committed is so heart wrenching.
And it's clear who it is too because it was revealed that the Baron's daughter, the one who the Old Christina allegedly tried to push down the stairs but even that wasn't what Christina was trying to do as I said - she ain't stupid enough, point, it was the Baron's daughter who took the Grimoire.
The old Christina most likely saw the blonde bitch stealing something and being how og Christina is, confronted her head on.
It is frustrating but that's how framing works and putting your own personal vendetta into the situation. The Crown Prince only realized his mistakes after Cedric had to point them out because he knows the old Christina and new Christina are both innocent, or at least the new Christina because it's clear that she has no memory of it through the old Christina's memories.









I am usually fine with incest due to the amount of roleplays I have about such insane concept that my bestie and I do quite often. HOWEVER, that comment from the mother was VILE. I feel bad for the man who was trying to support his mother and then she goes and throw away all of his sacrifice and efforts to say that. He made points clear that he wanted his own family and children, valid. The mother is like "I can do it for you!"
Also, given the time period this is and how young she must have married into the family, she has a small chance of getting pregnant again. If we put aside the vileness and the fact she is his MOTHER, chances of those two producing children at her age is very low.
And her husband just allows her to behave the way she does.
I don't think he would expect this behavior. If his son does tell him, divorce is probably what is going to.the straw that broke the camel's back
Screw divorce. He should put her in an institution.
True but divorce first then institution so he can find a respectable wife if he wishes.
Splendid.
