@viewtiful Nah, I still won't agree with the little sister even if this were set in real life. In no world and time should charity be done just for the sake of it. Governing well to build economy and opening more opportunity for people are the right way for it, because then the civilians can build their life on their own rather than waiting for the next charity to happen. For an example, if there was a disaster in real life, which would be better: 1. Only giving charity such as tents, clothes, and food aid in predetermined time. or 2. Helping the people in the disaster area to build their home and livehood again so that they can return to their normal lives? It's no contest right.
Also, yes the little sister is stupid. Just look at all the istances where she appears: 1. She reject the marriage proposal just because of the rumor about the Duke. She did not know who he truly is and she already decided not to even try to know. 2. When her family tried to convince her she threatened TO KILL HERSELF without hearing the reason and why there should be a political marriage because "of course her parents did not care about her if they decided to marry her off just like that, and if so then it's better for her to just die". 3. After it was decided that Athanasia become the bride, she HAS THE GALL to ask whether Athanasia is fine with marrying the Duke in the rumors. As if it is not because of her that Athanasia has to step up and take responsibility.
Do I need to go on here? because all the reason I just said above is from the previous chapters, not the newest ones released by SLC. I could edit this and go on if needed though. I would be happy to do that 😁
