Its a bit of a spoiler but they only saw Alyssa that way because of Marianne used some dark magic to make everyone hate everything about Alyssa so their judgement on her appearance were so heavily skewed because of it
That makes so much sense…. I was very confused why Alyssa was getting hated on for her appearance when half the imperial family looks like her
I don't think Marianne thought much ahead when doing that but thanks to her dark magic, no one cared they targeted only Alyssa amd hate her.
Honestly, I pity the family for getting brainwashed so easily and not seeing the manipulation sooner.
so i read a spoiler that she made them think marianne was alyssa and reverse, so in their brainwashed head they treated marianne like shit and killed her, while protecting their beloved sister, alyssa.
which make me feel bad for marianne but the path she took wasnt it girl and same with the people whos brainwashed
But strange, I have seen the eldest call her Marianne during the moment where she was praying in a church/chapel at night.
i think it’s more like, the brainwash made them think alyssa is the child who the emperor took in while marianne is the sister who they grew up with, sorry i’m bad at explaining
i’m finally starting this but,,, am i missing something, they call her a crow bc her eye color and hair is dull but like, the father literally have the same colors no???
