STAR MAIDEN I HOPE U SUCCUMB TO ENDLESS DESPAIR

Come on. Let’s not victim blame. Especially when you’re literally drugged that’s messed up. It’s the persons fault for getting taken advantage of.

hello! i get where you're coming from but (i think this is a spoiler or not?) it was actually said that the potions that pina used would only increase pina's likability to other people. that's it. meaning, they weren't brainwashed at all.

okay it's true that pina did use her increased likability to manipulate them but they still chose to believe pina and condemn remilia without actual evidences. they still chose to betray remilia.

Is that true? Then that’s definitely a different story then, because Wth. Just because they like someone more doesn’t mean they should believe the person they like more. That’s so toxic smh. Dang I’m sorry about my reply Frfr. I read spoilers but they just said they were giving a potion to make them act that way.

Yep, sadly it's true. I found the novel translation that I've read before and these are some statements about the potions that Pina used from Remilia's POV:

"There is also an item called 'Perfume of Attractiveness' that can double the increase in likability when giving gifts and when working together. Once used, the effects were set to last a month, but... that Pina woman had an unfamiliar scent at all times. I'm sure that was it. The flavor text of that perfume said, 'Spending time together will make the other person like you, and I can't even explain how so many sons and daughters of nobility were turning into followers over time if it wasn't because of that perfume, which I noticed as soon as I saw that woman was so vile."

and then Remilia said this too, she referring to the "victims" of Pina's potion:

"There were many other opportunities to realize their mistakes. I cannot forgive them for stepping through to the end like this, even though they should have done so. They had falsely favored Pina through drugs, but they were not being manipulated or losing their sanity. Those men should live the rest of their lives regretting their foolishness."

And I couldn't agree more!

Also, don't fret about your early comment. It's alright! (⌒▽⌒) I can't blame you since I thought they were just brainwashed too. It really sucks that they betrayed Emi/Remilia so easily but it was so bitterly satisfying in the end when I read their POV after Remilia's revenge and after the potion effects was lifted.

Wow that’s pretty cool. Thanks for showing what they said! Also dang that’s crazy I still can’t believe they’re betray such a nice person…like wth?! UGH I’m still upset and I’m glad they maybe regretted what they have done Bc they obviously should LIKE HUH? Are they like inhuman or something? Who would do that to such a nice person especially when they have known her for years. I’m just gonna bang my head on a table real quick.
