She literally had no power or authority. She begged to keep her child and was literally locked out of having contact with her son. What else could she have done??
The same thing she’s doing now.
....Hindsight is a gift.
Exactly! She’s also a queen and lets people who are supposed to be beneath her tell her what to do
Look up the famous Milgram's 'Behavioral Study of Obedience.'
She was told shes beneath ppl. She thinks shes beneath ppl. Her king took her baby away right after birth and ordered her to let the royal tutor take care of things. Even if she thinks its not right, its hard to go against it (of course, until you die because if it)
She's not 'letting' them lol. She is an empress in name only, with no powerful family backing her or the emperor visibly supporting her.... Moreover, the emperor is away at on the battlefield, so they know they can get away with treating her like trash.
These stories always blame the dad, but the mother also sits back and does nothing. (/TДT)/
