Sierra

Ongoing | Rana,Moonah | 2019 released

Sierra was a child hated by her mother and unwanted by her father. At a ball, she then met the illegitimate child of the emperor, Claude. Both being alienated by their parents, they instead found solace in each other. At least until Sierra is promised to the crown prince. To make a final good memory with her lover, the two of them spend the night together, resulting in a pregnancy that Sierra ends out of fear. Not long after, Claude ensues a rebellion, killing the emperor and first prince, as well as Sierra's father and all his employees (wtf), in order to be with her. However the death of her nanny and all the servants that raised her, scarred and terrified Sierra and she renounces her lover's deeds. As a result, he kills himself out of heartbreak. In that moment, Sierra wishes that time would reverse so she could make a different choice, and it magically does. This time, she takes her unborn daughter and runs away, leaving Claude and everyone else behind, before anything can go wrong. I'm like: wut. The whole backstory seems to stupid. It seems that if Claude had just left Sierra's father's servants alone, everything would've been fine and they could've been happy together. Or, at least it's not explicitly stated that that would not be the case. In the first place: why kill the servants? They didn't do anything wrong, other than work for the wrong person. Like, wtf Claude. That's just cold, ruthless and unnecessary. I also don't understand why Sierra needed to run away from him. It makes sense to run from everything else, but she could've been honest with him at least. He answered that he didn't want any kids, when she asked, but that's such a vague reason to just abandon him without a word or explanation. She could've just said: "Well, I do want them. Think you could be persuaded for my sake?" or "If I'm pregnant after our night together, I'm not going to abort. Instead I'll run away and raise the child far from the nobility. Would you want to come with or should I leave without you?" Like, anything. A tiny amount of communication could've gone such a long way. But ofc, without all the drama and misunderstand, we would've been left without a story, Ig...
