So the reason Marius said that was because he remembers the previous life. In the previous life he had loved Edgar the same way Liliana’s siblings love her. He treated Edgar like a son, but something caused Edgar to turn against Marcus and tried to fight him with a sword. This reminded Marius how his dead siblings and uncles did the same thing to him when they were fighting for the crown. He thought Edgar wouldn’t do the same, since he helped raised him, but in the end Edgar turned his sword towards Marius. In this life he doesn’t want to be close to Edgar in fear of history repeating itself, he loves Edgar but doesn’t want to go through with the betrayal again.

Leo doesn’t know about the past life, so to him it’s just Marius being unreasonable. He thinks Marius is just being paranoid about Edgar becoming the same greedy person as Marius’s siblings, with the exception of Edgar’s bio mum, and uncles. With Marius being unreasonable, he decided that he’s going to give the love Edgar is missing from both his parents and now Marius.

My guess is Edgar’s betrayal has something to do with how in the past Liliana was locked up in the tower with Rebecca, the og fl, and how Marius had become even more Tyrant after falling in love with Rebecca.

Andreas is the first born and older brother of the sisters. He took on the role of a father for Liliana, since their dad died before Liliana was born. Like how sisters, especially Alice, took on the role of a mother, Andreas loved Liliana as if she was his child. He cared deeply for his family especially Liliana. He had moved to the Empire while Liliana was young for work and took look for a cure for Liliana’s mysterious illness, which until recently, no one knew what the illness was.

Marius and Francois seemed to know Andreas, as he was an advisor (I think). In a flashback, both Marius and Francois recall an injured Andreas asking them to please take of his siblings, especially Liliana. They made a promise to him, hinting that something had happened him, are now fulfilling their promise, that’s why they’re so kind to Liliana and treating her so well.

Liliana doesn’t know what happened to her older brother and thinks that he’s gotten tired of looking after her, that’s why he left and stopped responding to her. She thinks she’s just a burden, but doesn’t know that her brother and her sisters love her so much that they’re willing to do anything to make sure she has a happy and healthy life. They love her as if she was their own child. Either Andreas is dead or is in hiding, that’s why she isn’t able to get a response from him.

The reason Regina wants to break up with Leo is due to her powers. She has the ability to manipulate minds. In her past relationships, they all ended because all her exs believe she manipulated them into loving her once they learned about her powers. She really loves Leo, but she doesn’t want to go through the heartbreak of him turning his back on her once he learns that about her ability. She wants to ends things now before it’s too late.

Also, there are only four people so far, who are aware of the previous life, that’s Rebecca, Liliana, Marius and Francois. While Liliana only remembers only bits and pieces of the past, the other three remember everything. Their regretful of their actions that lead to her death in the past, so in this life their trying to make it up. With Rebecca gone, the events from the past shouldn’t happen now.

Just to correct one thing here! Andreas did respond to the letter but it wasn’t in the way that she had hoped it was! She had hoped that he would be more upset about their older sister marrying Marius and moving them to the empire but he just said his congratulations and that he’ll eventually see them in the empire. It was a short response and that made her sad because she felt like he didn’t care or miss her.

╥﹏╥... This sounds sooo sad

is andreas not gonna die after the story ends? and about francois, did he regret of what he did to lily in their past life?
