Well I believe the kindest people can really be the bat shit crazy if they were driven into corner.I believe that she developed mental illness due to her shitty circumstances, lindes mom had no choice in that tower so if I were her I might have lose my mind too. Imagine your husband (a king)can't prevent you from being imprisoned so its most likely the mom went full mode paranoid thinking they'll kill her and her daughter so before them killing her she decided to do it herself instead of bearing thf fear they'll be killed in any moment of the day by the hands of those assholes. ┐( ̄ヮ ̄)┌
Just a random thought, don't mind me.
I just re-read 40 or 50 chapters and I just noticed that lindes Mom was kinda really selfish and mentally ill herself I guess
I mean the story don't explained exactly what happend in the past, it's just told us "Yeah mil's evil mother was kinda master mind and tried to take the title of "empress" away from Lindes mom' yada yada yada by accusing her for something really bad and so she got arrested for an indefinite time with her daughter"
And because of getting arrested she.. uh killed herself? I mean I understand that she was in despair because no one believed her but I'm asking myself if this was really that bad to kill yourself and your daughter. I mean to take your own daughter with you in your suicide attempt.
Kinda shitty u know?
Like I said, we don't know what really happened because the Story didn't explained it more explicit but either there was more really bad stuffed that happened but they didn't show us or Kindes Mom was already in a really bad mental health/state before the whole mess begun.
Because I can't imagine why you would kill yourself AND take your own beloved child with you into death because of some disbelief by other people (and I really think if she would just waited a bit longer the Emporer would have get her out I mean he said "wait a little bit") and because getting arrested. She was portrait as a loving mother and no loving mother would take the own daughter into a suicide attempt ( ̄∇ ̄")
So yeah.. pretty shitty?
Well just a random thought
Idk maybe it's really a plothole
