People are debating whether Aurora is secretly evil or plotting against Karina, but I don’t think she is. I believe she truly loves her sister, though she may be conflicted or confused about her feelings.
~ There are several clues:
1) Unlike many misunderstood villainess characters, Karina did act like one, so the accusations against her weren’t exactly "baseless".
2) In Karina’s flashback with the plushy dog, it’s their parents who push her to give it to Aurora. Aurora hesitates to take it and looks confused, but you can tell she is clearly grateful.
3)When the prince wants to send an army after Karina (which seems excessive since she was already banished), Aurora stops him with some flimsy “strategy” excuse. If she truly hated Karina, she could’ve let him do it.
4) Sending supplies to Karina’s castle shows Aurora may not fully understand her sister’s motives, but still wants her to be comfortable.
5) The plushy dog seems especially meaningful if Aurora does in fact love Karina, it makes sense why she’d send her something sentimental from their childhood to confort her when she's alone and away from home.

It's hard to telll, maybe her sister is a little autistic and doesn't realize how humiliating her actions can come over. The castle being destroyed by an avalanche after Aurora made it a giant lightbulp luring Karina back is also a crazy coincidence. We still don't know who killed the assassins as well, chances are high it's Aurora unless I missed something.
So far it's solely the parents fault Karina feels inferior to Aurora. They 100% played favorites. I agree that Aurora is probably looking out for her sister, unless the avalanche was somehow intentional.

Or what's more likely is that thr avalanche was symbolic, showing how she buried her sister in her mind lmao

I don't think the avalanche was aurora's doing. Because again, it really just desredars what she did previously. If she wanted karina fully GONE she could have let the prince get rid just like he wanted but she stopped him. It makes no sense to go through all that trouble and waste that many supplies just to cause an avalanche afterwards. If anything notice how the avalanche only happens when karina says she no longer considers the castle her home and that she doesn't care what happens to it? Remember the story karina was reading that seamed to almost be talking about her? in the story it said that the princess was blessed by the "Spirits of Nature" Even the maid mentioned that right after Karina left several tremors could be felt around the area. Whatever is happening around is connected to Karina 100%. And about the asassin, Karina was only shot by an arrow and right after that happens a blizzard breaks (again nature acting up) so it would be safe to assume that this could have stopped the asassins and if not right after that is when reshutoka shows up. She could have gotten rid of them.

Rereading this, I have complicated feelings
Like someone else mentioned, I wonder if Naguru would've accepted Herapi at all if Towa wasn’t in the picture.
As for Herapi, he definitely cares about Towa, but it feels more as if he sees him as a necessary part of staying close to Naguru. He treats him more like an annoying little brother than his actual child.

Ain't no way that people here think mitsuki can't have friends or a life and dreams aside from Aya. Ya'll are so stuck in your little romance fantasy worlds that you forget that not every person the main character interacts with are love interests/rival. Same thing with people nowadays constantly shipping characters who are so blatantly and platonically friends or best friends or caracters that clearly and outwardly Gay or Straight.

Mitsuharu you're a good guy and I know that but that little display was fucking ridiculous and douche baggy to say the least. It took Like 3 skilled individuals to hold back shinpei who BTW is physically not even at his full potential because of his injuries and I KNOW your spoiled ass hasn't raised even a butter knife against someone else in your life. Talking big when you can't even do shit yourself is crazy work. You're a guy who was born and raised lacking nothing, shinpei on the other hand only has satoko as the only good thing in his life. Literally the only thing keeping him together at this point. And let's not forget about the most important part, IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT, IT'S ABOUT WHAT SATOKO WANTS.
Lily is just out here being everyone's therapist That's why I love her relationship with Both Atil and Fjord
Atil is such a gentle and loving older brother to lily and has reached the point where he was the Only one who was able to tell she wasn't okay enough to ask her about it.
Fjord is possibly the one person lily has ran to cry to aside from her mother.
Lily is so emotionally in tune with the feelings of everyone around her that you even forget.. She's only 12 years old... and she was even younger at the beggining. She's still just a child. And even if she was older, everyone has the right to cry and be vulnerable.
