So she's out here securing her spot as best girl. I wonder what info she found out about the situation that's making her go for full obedience AND a mindwipe of what she found out.
Iirc in the previous cycle she's the only one who didn't believe he was a villain even as she was dying so it makes sense. She probably is aware he needs to be villainous to an extent.
No, She don't know the truth (yet), She Suspect (and that is the Key word), the prophecy give her an idea of what Frey is going through but she wants to erase her memories to mantein suspicion about frey to avoid harm on him because she will findout the truth if she keeps thinking about it.
man, this seriously skip way too much details from the novel including the best ones like Frey reading his Father letter before Kania discovered him.
This is such a weird chapter... like... it technically happened in the novel, but it's also somehow the complete opposite.
Here in the webtoon, the Emperor forces an engagement between Frey and Clana, using an ancient vow between their ancestors as the tool to forcefully annul his previous engagement with Serena.
In the novel, it's Frey who takes the initiative and forces an engagement between himself and Clana, using an ancient covenant between their ancestors to forcefully annul his previous engagement with Serena.
Like, I get why they changed it, there's a couple other things that led up to this engagement happening, but they all got skipped so you just have the most important end point. But if you skip all of those initial points, it makes less sense for Frey to need to push this engagement, so it ends up falling to the other side to initiate.
Because of this change, they also skip a hint at his past with Clana, in the novels she gets extra upset because she thinks for a moment that he suddenly proposed to fulfill a childhood promise they made, but Frey says he has no idea what she's talking about.
On another note, funny to see the comments on both this and the novel all agree that Serena mogs the other heroines so hard, it's hilarious.
