This could be plausible had women are allowed to inherit titles. As of the moment, she’s a temporary head, and her older brother will still get the title all the same. He doesn’t need any excuse. He can just walk right in and he’d get the title. Tbh, it’s the step mother who is sus, because if MC dies she gets to be in power again and could try to pull strings so that Older brother won’t inherit and it’ll be her son instead. And they can support the 2nd prince, ask for pardon and put Sharon on the throne (which is reaching but hey, monarchy is absolute here)
Not to mention if y'all forgot the StepMother was the one who sent The Brother away not that he went willingly on his own.ALSO HOW CAN'T ANYONE TELL THAT ITS BOTH THE EMPRESS AND THE MOTHER TOGETHER!? I mean its not legit but like bruh! There is so many signs that its the empress.Another thing why we all hatin on the brother?
Ohhh I'm so sorry. I was coming at chu I wasn't saying you hate him.I was saying that in regards to people in the comments section.Like everyone just saying bullshit about him and I don't understand cause like we haven't even met him yet. So how the fuck do they conclude to him being the one tryna over throw Rian's Rule over the Duchy.I read a comment saying maybe the brother was the one behind it.I just don't find any way of that making sense cause like.THE MANS LOVES HIS SISTER SO WHY THE FUCK HE GOTTA TRY TO KILL HER FOR THE THRONE THAT HE ALREADY HAS AUTHORITY TO.So ye I'm not saying you hate him,I'm asking why people are suddenly hating on the brother when like you said They haven't even met him. It was rhetorical question there isn't any need to answer Lol.Overall don't worry bout what I saids
I mean actually sure about this theory but for some reason I feel like it’s her brother doing. Maybe he wants an excuse to come back home and have to assume the title of Duke and she’s a threat to that and to his support of the first prince. And also because he essentially left home and left her in a knowingly abusive house so he could save himself.
