The past duchess may have a lot of other weakness but blaming someone for something that's not their fault, make me dislike her a bit. And it's not wrong for the maid to hate her. Because she's still the one who's wrongfully accused and received the punishment.
Even though the Duchess maybe had changed, it doesn't excuse for her past wrong doings. It felt like the situation will be where the duchess had changed for the better, so the maid just forgives her because she's better now or something.
If the duchess doesn't even apologies, even though it's not her doings, she still have the past duchess memories. So she knows what Chloe? I don't remember her name, had done. She better not ignored it.
I really don't want it to end up with the duchess is different now, so the maid forgives her because it would feel like they just brush over it. I want her to acknowledge that, yes, the past duchess did something horrible and the maid got punished, and apologize to the maid.
Acknowledge it. So it won't be like a situation where someone knowingly accused another person for something they did not do and got punished. And over the years that person had changed into better person, so the one being accused gotta forgive them, you know cuz they're good now. No acknowledgement that yes, they did changed but what they did in the past still happened and it still affect the one who takes the blame. They still need to apologize.
Sorry for the long rant. I'm just salty about that if it really happen in future chapters. I'm tired of people just keeps in getting away with what they had done wrong in the past just because they had changed like yeah, you're good now but you still need to apologize to the victims because they're the one who's facing the consequences of your actions. Don't brush it up like its nothing.
