I think the age might have been a mistranslation, And for the empress she died after her husband was assassinated because the paternal uncle took over the throne and sent her to war to die. (I checked chapter 3)
So it was all a mistranslation from the first few chapters. Thank you for this I really thought I was gonna lose it.
Now, that only leaves the question as to why the MC got the throne when she had a male cousin who was legally entitled to take the throne over her.
She was used as a puppet queen so the nobles might have gotten rid of her cousin because they can control her better, but who knows.
To be honest, it's a good read. The art is excellent and the characters are adorable. The only thing I dislike is that there are a lot of confusing things as the story progressed.
Like, did the author forget or something?
Like, it was mentioned that the MC was 5 years old when her uncle picked her up, but 5 years later she just turned 8 years old. I mean, what???? Did the author forget to count or something? 5+5 equals 10, genius.
Also, I thought the MC's mother (former empress) supposedly died BEFORE her father (the former emperor) died. But they mentioned that the one who forced her mother to fight in the war, causing her death, was the emperor (the current emperor)----so that means her father died first??? Before her mom???? Like, huh????? Otherwise, her father, which was the emperor at that time, was the one who sent his wife to die.
It's confusing, REALLY!
In addition to that, I thought the Prophet and her Knight were known to be a pair, not a trio. The head mage was also included?! Like what????
I'm also curious, how come in her past life and this life, she never mentioned she had a cousin from her evil uncle emperor? So the uncle did have a child, how come the MC got the throne then?? Huh?????
I'm completely lost now. If there's anything worse than a bad art and poorly made characters, it's the confusing storyline.
Now that I think about it, this doesn't deserve 5 stars for me. They just had to be wrong with the important details and hurt my head.
