Elizabeth wouldn’t have been twisted if you didn’t let her get away with injuring people. There are several ways to discipline a child, and we see this with Martin. Yelling at her does more harm than good. We know she’s afraid of her dad because she hates how he treated her. Of course, she’ll project her anger onto others because that’s the only way she knew how to express her anger. Her anger was very twisted and violent, and her dad emotionally neglecting her is the root of it all. I’ve seen this play out a lot with some children lashing out, getting in trouble, and destroying things just to get their parents attention. In short, Elizabeth wasn’t born evil. She was a hurt child who got away with hurting others because she never knew how to properly express her anger. With that being said…..she has shown signs of being sadistic. Typically, her violence would escalate to dangerous levels . I will say that she’s a grown adult, and Lynn was right that she has no one to blame but herself for getting kicked out of her house.
I think what a lot of people missed is that one of the themes that has shown in this story is that rich people can’t harm each other. It’s been said several times that rich people and royals can’t harm each other because it’s not proper. Even when Lynn’s sister slapped Martin for abusing/mistreating Lynn, she straight up told him how lucky he was they were friends and was a noble. Even Elizabeth’s teacher couldn’t stop Elizabeth injuring Lynn because she’s not allowed to fully discipline or punish a nobel. The dad even told Elizabeth how very lucky she is that she was his daughter, implying that he would have killed her. Elizabeth being permanently sent away is the more proper punishment. We see this all the time in real life; rich people get away with their crimes whereas non rich people have harsher punishments.
This was good karma imo. Karma isn’t always about physically torturing or killing wrongdoers. It can also be about killing someone’s spirit and they remain unhappy and miserable for the rest of their life. Lynn has friends, family and a home now. She’s no longer unhappy and scared of uncertainty. She finally stood up to her abusers and did her best to defend herself despite being scared of the danger they would bring to her. That’s strength. Every abused person has their valid way of standing up to their abusers. Elizabeth has no one and no place to herself anymore. You could see how much she was trembling in anger by apologizing to Lynn just to keep the family name. What Elizabeth prided in the most and taken advantage of to harm others, her social standing, has become a weapon against her.
I think it makes sense for Elizabeth to be sent away. Elizabeth has always cared about social standing, and she always prided herself being a noble. It’s one of the biggest reasons why Elizabeth has physically harmed and abused others for so long. Being noble comes with a set of privileges that she benefited from. It’s why Lynn had to suffer so much damn abuse from Elizabeth UNTIL it was revealed that she’s of royal blood. Elizabeth having to see how much has changed in her household since Lynn, a royal, marrying into the family, has spiraled her into anger and frustration. What’s worse for Elizabeth is that Lynn looks nearly identical to the same girl who her stepdad had compared her to in the past. AND! To find out that she was born from an affair, that’s a HUGE social reputation killer. Not only was it triple jeopardy of Elizabeth’s world come crashing down, she was left with two choices. Be sent away and never see your brother, stepdad, home, friends, your first love, and country ever again or become a poor stranger in your country and deal with the harsh reality of poverty and people gossiping about you.
Bitch 1 and Bitch 2 will be punished for sure. Bitch 2 is a liar, but she has no strong political backing other than Bitch’s 1 support. If she were from a strong political family, then that’ll be different because more people will protect her. It’s looking like others aren’t interested in protecting her unless it’s for their benefit.
Even other people in the palace (I.e. ministers) don’t like her. The queens dad (a fucking asshole who is the sole reason of her low self-esteem) praised Bitch 2 despite not liking her. Not to mention, she still is backed by that lecherous older man whose sons also have a history of sexually assaulting her. It’s only a matter of time until Bitch 1 will find out. Idk, she comes off as sloppy and will be quickly exposed by the people she paid off or her own lies.
Bitch 1 will get overturned or something. As if they will follow a king who is being controlled by Bitch 2 and won’t benefit from her as consort or queen. Bitch 1 is those bitch ass men who want virgin inexperienced women but want them to be freaky and sexy in bed. Don’t be a whore unless you’re gonna act like one in MY bed…..smfh. Make that shit make sense. Men like him can jump off a cliff. He will learn sooner or later that he was a fucking dumbass fool who got played.
Queen needs to be stronger and fight for HERSELF instead of just others. Stop pleasing the king and focus on what YOU should do. Focus on gaining more respect from the people and strengthen your bonds with your allies. That’s how you get people to turn against Bitch 1 and Bitch 2.
See, I would have made Bitch 1 MY bitch if he tried any of that be with me.
Odette shows what it means to be a woman who can hold her head high despite slanderous accusations and insults from powerful people. As someone who was so concerned with what people thought about her, I’m reminded to always take pride in who I am, to do better for myself and not lose my dignity and pride, no matter what the naysers and haters say. To be a powerful woman is what the world hates the most. That being said, I will not blame her at all if she lashes out on others. Some people deserve it like her dumbass cousin.
Now…… Girl deserves the world!!!!! Let her have some peace damnit. Let her have some good long lasting friends, live with her guardian and sister, and everyone can go to hell.
Bruh the spoilers with the ml…….im willing to like him if it the story has him apologizing for the shit he puts her through, his toxic jealousy and anger issues, not assault her in any kind, and commits to being a better man to and for Odette (and in general). You can empathize her and compliment her with your mind but not with your words????? Goddamn it why can’t you at least be kind to her as colleagues??? Men in these stories are so stupid! (╬￣皿￣)凸
Let Odette be with another man who treats her like the queen she is.

I think this wasn’t a really happy ending for Yuri. Now, she has no friends, no family (other than Oya and the child), will spend all her energy to getting accepted by Oya’s parents and the Oya syndicate, won’t have the freedom to do whatever she wanted anymore, will always have a target on her back (including the child), will have to experience more trauma and violence and be able to tolerate it, deal with Oya’s burden, have guilt towards her former family and friends, and the list goes on.
I don’t think she’ll regret her choice now but overtime she will. Tbh, her life will just be filled with loneliness and Oya and the child will not be enough to fill the loneliness and the harsh reality of being in the Yakuza, no matter how much he wants to make her happier after she sacrificed so much for him. I think this mangas message (among others) is that sacrificing your life for a dangerous man will come at a huge price. Honestly, Yuri could have broken up with Oya and find another man and still lived a safer life while keeping her loved ones, especially since she was happier when her family and friends were involved in her life.
I feel like this was a huge missed opportunity to show a parallel of Oya’s father grieving over Iori and Yuri grieving over her family. For someone who was dearly loved and felt so much guilt for causing pain to her family (before she got disowned), I seriously doubt that she’s not deeply troubled for being disowned and will never see her friends again. This also could have foreshadowed for Yuri to see that being in the yakuza means you have to seriously think twice of having children with Oya. If his father could be severely grieving over Iori, then imagine how Yuri will feel knowing her child will never be fully safe and is the only biologically relative in her life. Oya couldn’t always protect Yuri and Oya was always in sever danger. Imagine now with the kid in the picture. This really was a huge missed opportunity……..oh well 9/10 for the art.
You can’t blame your family for disowning you. You weren’t greedy because you wanted to have it all. You were greedy because you prioritized a yakuza over your friends and family! Not everyone can be open minded and face danger like you can. Being involved with the Yakuza means BEING involved with them as more than Oyas girlfriend. You were able to be his gf because you had a balance with him and your loved ones. Now, you just have him and a lot of violence that comes from him. You’re a grown adult so deal with the consequences of your actions because it’ll get harder from here on out (rant over)
Life advice to teen girls and young women in their early to mid twenties who are reading this manga andare going kyahhh for Oya: NEVER put a man over your friends and family. Loving someone should never be at the expense of your family and friends who are very dear to you. That will come back to bite you very hard, especially if that man leaves you. Yuri will now have to live with the guilt of her actions because she basically told her family that she picked a man DESPITE his very dangerous lifestyle of a year or so OVER her family who loved her since she was born. There’s only so much mental anguish Yuri can take before she breaks down from being involved with Oya. Also if Oya truly loves her, then he needs to have a serious discussion with Yuri of not sacrificing so much of her life for him.
