She was supposed to be the Duchess. From birth, she was constantly drilled on what she needed to know and do to become the duchess.
After he brother was horrifically injured, she has to give him the title that she has been working hard for because her brother is crippled and cannot become a knight.
She is sacrificing her predetermined position to make sure that her brother is not tossed to the side and ignored. She is taking up the sword that he can no longer hold so that she can fight in his place.
I don't see why she's getting so much hate. It may seem pushy, but she has always done what's best for him.
As long as he's comfortable enough, she's willing to sacrifice what she's been working on for many years just for him.
She said it earlier. One child becomes a knight, the other inherits the title. Her brother has no chance of becoming a knight anymore, so it makes sense that he inherits the title while she, healthy and able, takes on the task of becoming a knight.
It'll take time for him to get used to where he's at, since he can barely hold a pen, but it seems that there is no other choice.
If we're gonna be salty at anyone, it should be towards the second prince for injuring her brother in the first place.
He assumed that if he stopped her brother from becoming a knight, then Lamia would somehow not die like she did before. If she later finds this out, I guarantee she would be angry beyond belief. I would be. Ruining her brother's chance of becoming a knight by crippling him just so that there's a chance Lamia will not die is a shitty move altogether. He can't predict the future. She may still die in the end anyway. Did he consider that her fate might never change? Did he consider that his actions may make things worse?
Idk. I'm just ticked and too pessimistic to see how the second prince could think that things would work out for the better.
