I don't know, I can't completely hate that lady at all. What she tried to do was wrong, absolutely horrid; but her motivations weren't inherently evil. She's a mother who lost her husband, and who's child's life is being held over her head. It must have been beyond terrifying.
For her to turn around and repent by trying to save Leslie, she's a good person in a bad situation. I pity her

That’s a full break of suspension of disbelief for me
From the lie to then motive, how convenient can it be that her life is a mess ?and how could someone who witness the evil of that family dare to bargain anything of importance at the cost of their own values to them ?
She obviously was the only one with a sense of ethic, and she suddenly forget it, but also turn totally dumb ? How on earth could she trust these people who fired her for giving a slice of bread to a child ?

Because you’ll indeed get dumber when a life is at stake. Your brain won’t function properly when you”re panicking and she clearly was so. She’s at the end of her wits, she’ll grab any sliver of hope if it means she could get her daughter back out of desperation.
I could sympathize with her because I think I could easily make the same mistake as her if the same thing happened to my family

I like this manga. I can't explain it, but characters don't have to be likeable to be realistic. Humans can be ugly. Yuugi was foolish, Mio was disgustingly opportunistic. And together they were a mess of confusion and unhealthy infatuation.
And sometimes that's how it is. A wonderful piece of work.

Right!! I even hurt my own heart after having to read what I had said before in order to reply to you. Doesn’t that happen to everyone forgetting what you were talking about and having to remember by reading what you had said before. Sorry for my rambling but yeah I just caused my own pain by focusing on the negatives. (Basically my entire life summed up in one sentence)
A twin brother who looks the exact same aside from the imperfections in an isekai royal romance who can ALSO use magic? Don't fuck with me they defo the same person, probably used magic to make a copy of himself. >:) Violet is the real appearance of the crown prince and the copy is a way of testing the candidates as well as spying on them. Duh.
thats what i thought too and i hope its true ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
