I'm guessing that the current empress, Yulia (?), is the same as the og empress. Considering her habits are the same (well, only one was mentioned) and how no one has realised that she's changed, especially those that have been close to her since she was young. And if this fact is already known, then... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I was using the plot from 'The Villainess Loves' as the basis for my theory. "Maybe someone or something sent Yulia to another world to learn from her mistakes" sorta thing.
Spoilers ahead (for The Villainess Loves):
Spoilers from the comments said that the og Princess Litia was the sister of mc, who basically swapped souls so mc could still live. Mc, originally from Korea (I think), was sent there by said sister (og Princess Litia) as a way to save her - or something pertaining that story line.
I had already guessed the blonde delphina will get all jelly cause she ain't as clever as Marie, but to be that petty... (● ̄(エ) ̄●)
Ik she has to be crown Princess for that Western (?) King's plan to work or whatever, but still.
Plus, I still can't get over the fact that Marie truly thought that the blondie would be a good Queen. Like dude, she used your ideas as her own for recognition without knowing a single shities! She'd be the cause of destruction for the kingdom!
Though there wasn't much of an option

Despite his actions, I cannot hate Theron. And with all honesty, he's my favourite. It may just be pity for his lonely soul, one without love but endless scrutiny. One under tremendous surveillance for the slightest slip-up forcing mass amounts of pressure to his glass heart. I only wish for your happiness and shall pledge my loyalty to you, My King. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
So, I've read up to chapter 103 so far and I'm currently pissed about the fact that Desnir...Desnus... Des whatever, didn't clear up the fact that he ain't no noble to that burnt face guy. Not like anything would change, but its annoying hearing them use him being a "noble" as an excuse to attack.
Plus at this point, it's just an all out discrimination war akin to the "who has it worst" arguments. (/TДT)/
What's with the Lombardys? (if that's how you spell it). No... seriously, why do most of them find some sort of self satisfaction in isolating a kid? A fReAkInG KID?!?!?! Like bish, go shove your hand up your ass instead of wiping that shit on m. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Btw, sibilence was required to represent by sinister thoughts. Torture techniques are up for debate.
