I agreeee!! They are both petty but I’m guessing that the empress was anxious that she would be dethroned by Satia because of the imaginary ‘grudge’ against her. The move she made against Satia was proven to be counterintuitive considering that Satia didn ‘t have ill will against her. But we all know that Satia isn’t petty. She loves her parents and surely she will value the parents of her spouse.

let's imagine for a second that Satia would have dethroned her, even then the empress responsibility and care are still for her people and not for herself. by supporting a person that isn't fit for the role, she hurting her people just to save herself.
it only show that the empress does not fit to be empress anymore, she forgets and abandoned her people to care for herself and her son.
I like the protagonist because she is consistent with what she feels. She didn’t want the prince’s heart, she just wanted to become empress, which is measured by capability. Irene was pretty wicked because she used her connection to create a deal with the prince. She just wanted power, she was greedy and worst of all useless. Her reason for being a Regina is just shallow but I ‘m sure there is a story behind it. I hope they comtinue translating, I saw that it’s only up to chap 99.
