I probably got the wrong name here, but Liora s one of the only named characters who had genuinely good reasons to want her dead. That's the tribal maid's name, right?
Mia got tricked into approving a noble's "deforestation" plan by asking her if she liked a jewel box he had made from trees in the nearby forest. It was really a plan to incite rebellion by Liora's tribe for a land grab since that's kind of sacred forest to her tribe. Since the forest was the fuzzy border all he had to do to own more land was trim some trees. The noble also was getting ready to kidnap them as slaves and etc to ensure a rebellion happened so that a military response to protect his loggers working on "Mia's behalf" would be required. Basically Mia got tricked into causing/advocating mass genocide with her name on the paperwork. Liora's tribe absolutely destroyed the army sent in to repress them except for the best general/swordsman in the entire country who now has a 9000% murder boner for personally chopping Mia's head off.
Everything spiraling out of control in her home country essentially centers on this one guy.
All of this because a random noble wanted to metaphorically have a bigger dick to wave about how much land he owned to sooth his tiny ego.
I like that he wasn't even incompetent when he went about it. He had a logical plan and executed it perfectly. The fallout on the other hand was way more than everyone bargained for but he probably got out of it since Mia's name was on the fine print instead of his.
Wow. It makes sense now. I always found it weird that the princess despite her spoiled outlook and coupled by the fact that the glasses dude said she didn't do any work that she would be so hated and be killed by a rebellion. It's just that her kingdom legitimately sucks. The nobels that deal with the money sent away the one dude who was trying to fix the situation. Nobels are kidnapping their own fellow nobels based on the locations of their keep. Then with your spoiler. The kingdom is full of shitty people that put their own princess in danger.
