Right?!!!! I was wondering about this too bruh i literally was thinking the same thing for awhile about it cuz i thought maybe black magic messed up but then shouldn't jenette be at least a few years older and i was also thinking this when they had their debut not be jn the same year and was kinda shocked since when we see athys mom with him he already looks more adult and in the story he seemed pretty young when he took over the throne
Idk if this is a spoiler this is more of a prediction or guess?? Idk but the thing is I don’t even think Jenette is Claude’s daughter if anything I believe it’s his brother’s child and Diana just lied ab the birth father for idk what reasons but yeah. I think Athy and Jenette are actually cousins :))
I was rereading the part where they talked about how jenettes mother was his fiancee and the bro made that dick move it says in that part that claude became scandalous immediately after so i guess he met diane not so long after killing his bro and it didn't say that penelope gave birth immediately so hence i deduce that when Claude's brother realized claude was stronger and up to something he did the thing to penelope but was soon "killed" then claude diane then penelope gave birth and died and the diane gave birth and also died. This would be the most probable time-line with what you read about jenette being just around a year earlier
this has been bothering me for SO LONG, but athanasia should technically be the second born and younger than jennette. in the beginning chapters it states athy was the first born but that logically does not make any sense. penelope and anastascious had jennette at least a few months before claude even met diana. claude was also the emperor by the time he met diana so that means he killed anastascious beforehand, and anastascious already yk.. had sex with penelope and jennette was in the womb. so ? jennette should be older and first born. idk why that bothers me so much but yea <3
