what is happening?

I'm not sure but someone said Ariel is "protecting" Alexa so she doesnt get killed by the emperor. Also I've seen in one scene Ariel seemed to be good (not technically good idk how to explain) and she most prolly doesnt love that blonde guy
But overall whether Ariel is good or bad I dont want her in the picture

damn! I was all ready to hate on her too! Σ( ￣□￣||)
This is a sudden development. I think I will also wait for the story to progress before I unleash my inner Bitch on Ariel now. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
