Especially since the grimore is a royal secret how did 1 witness get close enough to see Christina steal it. The only way is if it was a magician or a member of the royal family and they would have stopped her. It obvious that someone is framing her
And it's clear who it is too because it was revealed that the Baron's daughter, the one who the Old Christina allegedly tried to push down the stairs but even that wasn't what Christina was trying to do as I said - she ain't stupid enough, point, it was the Baron's daughter who took the Grimoire.
The old Christina most likely saw the blonde bitch stealing something and being how og Christina is, confronted her head on.
That makes the prince dumber than a door knob. Why didn't he ask the witness about this? So many holes that make this frustrating to read
It is frustrating but that's how framing works and putting your own personal vendetta into the situation. The Crown Prince only realized his mistakes after Cedric had to point them out because he knows the old Christina and new Christina are both innocent, or at least the new Christina because it's clear that she has no memory of it through the old Christina's memories.
The fucking reason the Crown Prince, who's name I don't bother remembering at all, has personal vendetta against Christina who used to treat him practically horribly, and put her under house arrest for something she allegedly do without a single proof except for one witness is wild. At this point, it's really a she said/they said scenario. It's so stupid. Literally so stupid to have personal feelings when a literal crime has been performed and the only one that makes sense was the old Christina who perhaps would be the type to do but as we went through the story previously, we learned that the old Christina isn't stupid enough to do serious crime. Sure, she is rude and all but it comes with the territory of being rich and spoiled on most noblewomen.
I feel bad for both Christinas. To be accused of two different crimes that she didn't admit to or even committed is so heart wrenching.
