well she was also a violently housebroken princess so having someone who actually needs to be strangled into it is mostly just catharsis by proxy.
the one thing i hate about this series though is we cant have Ciana the Floof be floofed by the Disney Princess-sans-ess AND turn it into a hedonistic imperial downfall plot where Alice and Ciana work together to poison, cripple, and collapse the empire then run away into a beautiful lesbian romance. Where they proceed to destroy the next empire.
