only two years in and the people easily forgotten about her? whoever's rewriting the history there was working overtime
Not fully, they just removed records of her and the Royal Family declared eveen her NAME was to NEVER be mentioned. The Nobles are FREE to speak about her in GENERAL, but letting her name slip out their tongue will have consequences!
It's likely Karina did many of the things UNDER the Royal Family guidance/orders, not fully innocent herself. But it was enough to show them as the guilty party. To cover it up, they need her to be a scapegoat, removing her name and birth is in line with Aurora "marriage" into the family instead. What a NICE convenient tale where she's a Villainess "vanquished" and "forgotten" because "deserved" and strange Aurora didn't bring up a stink (just adds MORE points to her being bad, but I'm more for "they convinced her that it's for the best and she didn't question it, or is too full with herself with everyone on eggshells not to bring her up EVER around Aurora so she REALLY doesn't know what's going on around her. She might "bring her up" from time to time, but guessing she's an airhead she might just FORGET her name at some point! But it's her WEDDING and HAPPY LIFE, why ruin it for others? Her sister angered them all, so it's not like she wants to anger everyone who is "so nice" by making them think of her sister. She'll just "keep it to herself" Honestly I feel it's a Mix of her just being a Airhead Golden Child, a part of her DOES understand "the differences" she never fought hard ENOUGH, but thought if she was "kind to her sister" she'd make up for the hate and indifference she was getting. But in the end, if she had to CHOOSE between her and her golden experience, she'd pick the latter without hesitation, her sister's "Evil" is just an excuse to HERSELF, a easy lie to convince herself Karina "got her serves her right" and she shouldn't feel guilty cause "SHE TRIED" so like her parents, specifically her mother, she's refusing to ACKNOWLEDGE her part in Karina's "fall" though unlike her mother, she seemed CONTENT with just not thinking about Karina for "her own sake!" But then it's funny the Writer is doing everything possible to not show Aurora alot, leaving it a MYSTERY of her TRUE personality!
Reminds me of that OTHER Manga, the one with the Miasma and the FMC choosing to be the sacrifice in place of her adoptive younger sister, especially when the guy she liked BEGGED her to take her sister's place (choosing her sister over her) and she did so, but for some reason, the Royal Family pushed that she was a Criminal for it, erased her name, pushed everyone to forget her INCLUDING her parents, guy she liked who married her sister for "her sister's sake" as the trauma of losing her sister in her place PUSHED for the forgetting for "her sake" and still unknown his feelings. And everyone moved on with their lives. Parents at LEAST made a grave for her and mourned till their dying days (even though it had to be an UNMARKED one in a Commoner Grave as to not UPSET the royal family) and the story begins with the two Son, her Nephew making a journey to retrieve the Sword she "stole" (this is the "justification" of the lie she's a criminal by the way) having been told to expect some shadow Miasma monster to "Take her image to be able to use the sword" hence when he GOT there and ran into her (the Miasma HALTED her aging, so she was UNAWARE time stood still) he attacked without hesitation! Then got his BUTT beat in! In the Novel at least because the Manga is so DELAYED she finally left with him, met up with her ONLY FRIEND the one who helped her nephew get in and was the one to tell him his "guess" because no one EVER survived the Miasma Lands, hence the SACRIFICE! However since she went in, the Miasma never came back, ENDING the whole "sacrifice" business. However he was BLACKMAILED into silence about her which she doesn't blame him for, but the mystery of WHY she was made into a Evil Villain (they made it look like she STOLE the sword and tried to "get power" in the Miasma lands cause she was studing them, completely invalidating her TRUE obvious reason for doing so to save her sister for some reason. Her "BIL" had tried to fight the falsehoods, but in time his powerlessness, wanting to protect his wife, ETC may have made him eventually become complacent for "The good of his wife".....and the guilt for "asking her to sacrifice herself" since even HE realized that was wrong! Nephew found out about her before when he was younger and asked about her only to be told to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT as he'd upset his mother, so all he knows is the general history "She's a Criminal" they're hiding her because of that label and not knowing WHAT will happen as no one expected, least of all those who criminalized her to come back NOT ONLY ALIVE, but not a DAY older then when she left. It's obvious she'd be Experimented on to find out how and the excuse of "she's a criminal so it's not wrong" being used to justify it Despite as said STILL a MYSTERY why she was made a criminal in the first place. She did the Sacrifice for her sister, so why make her out to be a Villain?!
