I did not expect the second prince and his mother's downfall to happen so quick. Hera is on indefinite house arrest. Her son is demoted to knight. Their faction is ruined until he manages to make a name for himself, but that's probably gonna take a while, if at all. I guess at least this outcome means nobody dies, and Serena doesn't have to kill any of them.
Blind to any and all feedback while absorbed in her own little world, coddled by an enabler of a stepmother who spoiled her rotten. There's no way Rosemary would've figured out why any of this happened to her.
I wonder what she'll choose? She probably gets to keep her family name if she chooses the convent, but she becomes completely disowned if she chooses returning to commoner life (but she'll be freer than being a nun). Status, or freedom?
I don't think Serena will be dealing with these three for a while.
