Is it wrong that I think people are focussing too much on the so-called message than the very, very obvious alpha bitch who has nothing but bad intentions?

We have already had the outwardly alpha bitch who actually means well. This woman doesn't.

Very clear that this woman is actively trying to find any fault in Teresse she can and is finding ways to construe everything she does in the least charitable way possible to justify undermining her, presumably to claim her position next to Rina

Who the fuck did she think she is? MC and Jade already had history during the whole Grand Duchess selection thing. If her being together with Jade was a taboo, then no one in the right mind would brought up that rumour right in front of her. MC is also the one Rina trusted the most. MC only needed to briefly mentioned what happened and she would be crossed out off the list.

In some other genre, Cordelia would totally come off as someone trying to win Riina's heart all the while seeing MC as a love rival.

Here though, I'm not sure what exactly her motives are. Really wanting Riina to succeed, showing off she can do that the best, tearing down those she dislikes without giving them a chance...

Some here have said that although that woman is horrible she makes a valid point. Nah.

Really, I think she's making stuff up. As we saw just a few pages before, all the other court ladies are there to snag men--it's expected, so a bit of flirtation is not even a problem. She and Jade are both respectable, single, marriageable, and close enough in status to not even be controversial. Them exchanging a few words in a public space is absolutely fine and normal. Jane Austen would consider it completely unexceptionable. Consider: All the other girls thought they were already dating--and this clearly had had zero impact on her perceived respectability.

It's just nonsense to try to make a gullible girl miserable and self-doubting.
Exactly what I was thinking, you put it to words well. I really feel like Cordelia has some other agenda (and possibly trauma she's taking out on her about someone targeting her to get at their true target) she's going for here.

And even if she did have a valid point, that's just no way to bring it up. We gotta get HR up in here lol

"She has valid points" Y'all, no she does not😭! A. If she was there watching Jade & Teresse talk like she said she was, anybody with half a brain wouldn't mistake that for flirting. They're on equal footing them talking in any capacity shouldn't be an issue. Cordelia only started spouting bullcrap when Teresse mentioned that she knew Jade from him being her guard knight back in her Duchess Candidate days. This just triggered Cordelia, who is clearly insecure, into literally berating and gaslighting Teresse by taking advantage of Teresse's love and trust for Rina and twisting it into "advice" about Teresse being "reckless" and "endangering Rina" when if she knew ANYTHING about them like she seems to THINK she does, Rina is literally rooting for Jade & Teresse to become a couple.

Also, Cordelia talking about Teresse's family being poor as if Rina didn't used to work for them and was incredibly happy to be adopted by them because she was already close to Teresse. That's another reason why Cordelia is just not the girl that she, Cordelia, thinks she is! Besides, if i'm remembering correctly, Teresse's family was poor because they spent their money on anyone/thing, but themselves. Cordelia wants Teresse has so bad, but she can't because she's simply not that girl.
Finally, I'm going to need Teresse grow a damn backbone as well as a brain and the wherewithall(?) to tell a trusted companion about Cordelia because she's already been told that Cordelia and her little crew, essentially hates her guts! So of course, Cordelia doesn't actually give a damn about Teresse's "success" , she just wants her spot. And as someone else said, she's willing to make stuff up, just to get that spot!
