They get on a horse and try to get help but there are more assassins that lead them to a cliff ( they reveal to her that red bitch hired them, which confirms her suspicions), she takes him and falls off and lands in a river (I think) and he fainted. So she brings him into a cave and goes out to find some herbs for his wound and remove the poison. (I remember more but this is all I’ll put for now) (=・ω・=)

YEAH It's. EXACTLY THAT
Potential spoiler idk if my brain rmbrs correctly....
I also rmbr him asking her who did it and she said Rose and he was like oh shit pikachu face. They get closer and she gets angrier. She also takes care of him while he's recovering and some other big thing happens that gets rose in big ass trouble

The mom has an odd relationship with her kids, she heavily relies on both of them. She most likely values Lawrence more and never wants to disappoint him. In her head she's inferior to him but with tia she is superior because Tia can't actually be put on the throne so her mother sees her as more of a tool. I think she does care for them but at the same time they're like tools to her to help raise her in status. It's very obvious she has some type of mental issue with how much she relies on them and how quick she is to beat tia but also love her after. I like this concept more than just an evil mother, it's much more fascinating because it's hard to hate her as much knowing she's got a few loose screws

Honestly I see this as a really realistic mother-children relationship because right after the abuse there's love. So we know that she still cares to an extent and reaffirms that love. Any parent can end up like her with just the amount of stress and situation she's got herself in. I don't think she's mentally ill, she's just a mother.

Yeah, I sat down with my mother and talked about some sh*t. She told me that a mother’s stress is already hard enough, it’s enough to drive any mother to an unstable point. Imagine not having the guaranteed stability or even anyone who is a husband/partner figure alongside you to support you. Stress changes a person and after it’s all over, after the tantrum is only self- loathing, regret or even maybe peace. Sorry didn’t mean to go so in depth with that. I hope that you’re able to talk to your mother or both listen to each other. Also yes thanks Tanakasbabygirl, love your username
But uh I just noticed that lady dott and lady periodt(?) smth like that. I read the spoilers so like the connection
