There is no explanation yet, but it might be because the saintess owed such interest in the empress, so she decided to protect her maids "friend"
i think she just prefers the empress of yuliana, but she still doesn't like the empress
i think she just prefers the empress over yuliana, but she still doesn't like the empress
Irene fell in love with someone else so she doesn't really want to be empress anymore and the redirected feeling to the reincarnated saint has to be with the fact that that one knight is looking for her and Irene thinks he doesn't like her and probs wants to kill her (He does like the reincarnated priest but since he works alongside the emperor she think him searching for her isn't a good thing so she wants to protect her as she is her only friend so the feeling were redirected to the priest)
I knew there was going to be a second couple xD
did i forget something? can someone tell me why irene is suddenly on the empress's side? i thought she wanted to be empress and then she just redirected her feelings to her maid/the reincarnated saint
