Yup, and even then its so complicated because we know that the first emperor didn't do it just because he wanted to. He was mandated by the god in their world and only time will tell how much influence that entity had on his motivations to carry out the genocide.
I wonder if it will make an appearance through regina as all of his descendants carry 'gods mark'
If you think about it, the whole country at the time of betrayal was complicit to the genocide of her clan because they supported the 1st emperor's witch hunt (if I remember correctly)
If I was blinded by rage because of that magnitude of betrayal and harm, I would've wanted to take revenge on the whole country too, especially if the blood of my brethren were used to support the foundation of a country
And that's what makes this story unique and interesting for me. It's not wholly about who's right or wrong anymore, but of survival.
If you ask me, if the unconfirmed story of how their God manipulated the 1st Emperor to betray Anita was true, then THEY are the true villain here and not Anita.
