The gramps recognised she was his flesh and blood, why did he treat the original Senianna so cruel?

 

[Davi_Felizardo]

@Azure_1802 This is something that I just catch in the second read but is problaby because of the attitude of the old Senianna, and not in the way that gramps was treating her bad because he didn't like her but because Senianna herself put a distance between them. She never called him grandfather and only use elder to address him in public and private interactions, she never talks to him, she never had dinner with them as a family to put simple she was the one keeping them apart. Moreover her grandfather is serious person with a very intimidating aura is obvious that the old Senianna could never approach him due to her severe lack in self confidence because her mother was a commoner and the rumours of her being a prostitute so Senianna problaby internalize that all nobility look down and hater her, including her family, and thanks to the abuse that her suffer in the chef academy and her home from the bitch step mother only solidifies that view. As to why her grandfather and brothers didn't do anything to stop the abuse we discover in this chapter that they didn't know of the abuse and just this fact alone brings an enormous discussion about if is okay for them, her family that lives in the same house that her, give this excuse and this comment is to long already so I'm going to summarise my points. The tl:dr is this, first the management of the house is usually the duty of women in this type of story so is normal for them to not know what happens inside the house especially if the maids and another employs are being manipulated by bitch step-mom, second is obvious in this point of the story that the country is passing a moment of external and internal conflict and the hands of her grandfather and brothers are already full with that(remember they are the most powerful family in the country), third I already mention that a big factor for old Senianna bad relationship with her family is her own atitude now add this with the fact that Senianna reputation is already rock bottom between noble circles due to her birth and behaviour add too the fact that she was not competent in anything now we have a family member who can't do anything good and can't even be of much use in a political marriage and has being living a luxurious life, for all that her family knows, all due to her grandfather's benevolence. Am I saying that they are good people and have nothing to do with the fact that Senianna, their family, had been suffering physical and psychological abuse for a majority of her life and that you shouldn't be angry with them even though they could had stop this any time before she committed suicide if they pay a little more attetion to her or care a little more about her? HELL NO, what I'm saying is that this is a complex topic that you need to use perspective to address it, the relationship between abused x abusers x bystanders is not so black and white as is seems.

@Dali_Felizardo: i still don't understand, they lived in the same house, and the youngest child distanced herself from the others, then attempted suicide not only once, yet they all just ignored it. The gramps, who has been the head of the family, didn't spare a moment to investigate why his granddaughter wanted to die, only assumed that it was her own stuff. While it was true that the original Senianna had bad reputation, wasn't it the adults' responsibilities to fix anything wrong with the kids in the household? The negligence was strong in this series.

HAHAHAH END THEM

 

[solchimes]

LMAO WHAT A FAMILY

Bruh, it was self-isolation all along!

My theory still works, I guess. She was gaslit into thinking that she was hated, so she self-isolated. Then her family also thought she hated them. (And perhaps she does hate the family cuz she was so isolated that it ruined her.)

It's a cycle of misunderstandings in the end.

Also, with her depression things became even more twisted in her head. This becomes a case of the former Senianna being an unreliable narrator + memory loss.

And it was true that the lady was controlling the maids! A very coordinated concealment of truth. Even her personal maid couldn't know anything.

They did not live in the same house, she was put in the detached building. Which in the case of a great noble's estate could be a couple minutes or so of walking distance.

And the building was managed by the woman who could manipulate every information inside it.

Senianna was also "raised" (neglected and abused) for years by this lady, and most likely manipulated from a young age. It's possible that she's had that gloomy behaviour ever since she was young due to the abuse and it's pretty common for abused children in reality to not seek help.

So, in conclusion, either the suicide attempt was covered up or her abnormal bevahiour became so "normal" that they didn't even think twice when she did it. Many years of being like that makes people accustomed to it, especially since they don't know her much since she did not try to speak to them and she even only knows them through rumors too. She lived like she was a corpse in the eyes of the unenlightened.

She even had depression due to all of it, I doubt depression was studied in this fantasy world, even in ours it's only recently that it's been focused on. (Even then it's only a bit. Awareness helps 🙏.)

Even if she lives in a detached building, it would be still the same estate, which mean the same house. That woman can tell lies but the old man still get responsibility for child neglecting. It happened in his house, he cannot say he didn't know anything about it.
