Between Hess and Diana, there are many things that are the same yet different:
- Diana and Hess were born commoners, they both rose to the ranks w/ high-ranking husbands (Diana mentioned this in ch. 87)
- but the thing that separates them is, Hess does everything out of love for Kael while Diana does everything just for herself
- Diana pretends to be nice to people, but anyone can see that after becoming crown princess, she's a fake and all talk
- While with Hess, she strove to do anything and everything for Kael, to live a happier life, plus to get her way, she actually plans it and makes it happen
