Ohhh noo now that main novel has finally ended she’s becoming the FL right before our eyes I think! But hey her sequel is sooo much better than boring Diana
Also, stopping Diana from answering under the pretense of her being rude was a stroke of genius. If she had answered then some of the crowd would have sympathised with her. While giving her an opportunity to stay silent with the reason of decorum does seem like a good thing it is a bad thing. Now the question will never be answered and people will be left to imagine what the answer would be, and when people imagine something like that they always imagine the worst possible outcome.
Well it seems this part deviated from the novel. 🤔 this confrontation included an allusion of how ridiculous Diana's principle of right or wrong is. Hestia used the story of a woman who killed someone to which Diana said that the woman was definitely wrong. But Hestia further divulged that the woman was the mother of a girl-child which the boy raped and killed. Is the mother still wrong now? The nobles understood very well but Diana said that the mother could have reported it. But Hestia further said that it is a reality especially to commoners that reports are ignored in favor of those in power or rich it was an amazing scene
