My interpretation is that what she did is kinda right.
The castle is torn between 2 Factions. The prince is the only child of the Emperor but his mother being a maid and not a high born lady makes it easy for him to be overlooked as the heir if the Empress gives birth to another Prince.
So if the Empress gives birth to a boy then they will be the heir but that's IF it's a boy born. So it's the long waiting game until the Empress has a boy or if the Prince is selected as the Emperors official heir.
MC is loyal to the Prince since she knows the story but realistically right now as a kid he has no power.
The staff don't hold him in high regard and making it know they are not on his side.
If she made her Alliance know then she would be put in danger. The Prince has no power to protect her with against enemies outside and inside the castle.
So best bet get in the good gracies of the on a who does hold the power at this moment, the Empress.
She is assured safety and living well in the palace. Which means better food, supplies, that she can easily share with the Prince.
Just until the prince gains his own political power.
Now for the info she told, she just told the Empress that the prince was sneaking out to trains with mercenaries. Which by all means is very vague.
Since she never said which group of mercenaries and where. Which the Empress can make her own assumptions. Since she could be thinking that being trained by mercenaries is not much help training in sword fighting. Since mercenaries are looked down on she might think he's learning useless skills.
Also by being in the Empress "side" she can protect the Prince in her own way. Gaining info for him and even steering him in the right direction to build up political power.
Well I mean thats how I see it. I guess we have to wait until the next update. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
*Nod* Yep Yep good comment. You just said everything I was thinking while reading this chapter :).
I 10000% agree. Good analysis
Thankful you took the time to type this in detail. If you don't carefully analyze what Cana's reasoning is, you'd think she's selfishly looking out for herself. But in reality, her actions here will protect the Prince, herself, and the Kingdom ultimately.
I'm thinking that the reason they keep dying is because of her.
Maybe she was an angel in love with Sam and was the one who told on them or even murdered them in the 1st life
And as punishment for killing a fellow angel she would reincarnate as well or she still is an angel and always kill them.
Either way I don't trust her(〜￣△￣)〜
Your theorie is too good. You might be the next Shane Dawson
I figured that the Emperor would suggest a marriage between him and the Mc, especially now that she is free to be wedded. Or maybe with someone from his kingdom since it would enable our Mc to stay in the Empire under his control.
Or after the kidnapping if it is successful, he could try and have her married with a bonding type magic or something close to a curse.
I mean if u want her that badly that's the route I can see working in his favor ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'm rooting for Green boy to end up with Aristia.
They can even each other out with her gentle nature and his hidden dark one? He seems to really care and even love her and by his actions he would go further and beyond for her. So I hope they end up together(￣∇￣")
I saw a spoiler where the Wolf and Snake might have feelings for each other which I can see.
But the Rabbit is the character I have my eyes on, there's just something about his character that draws me in.
I'm hoping that the Wolf and Snake end up together and the Rabbit just finds someone else more suited for him. Someone either the complete opposite of him or more sick amd twists then he is.
Or
Wolf + Snake + Rabbit end up in a threesome.
Though I'm holding out for the 1st option.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Wolf+Snake+Rabbit hm... It's an truly endearing idea. I shall ship it.
