#not on purpose. but her backhanded compliments and hard truths might actually have the effect of making diana confront herself

i tried to make this post while on post limit so lets see if i can remember all the points i wanted to hit

i do feel kinda bad for the prince that she (and apparently even cael himself) really feel this way about him. so far this entire time he really has shown nothing but concern for cael (and thus, suspicion towards hestia), not to mention that he tends to visit cael while using an alias. if he'd ever visited cael in the previous life to try to reconcile(way too late), she'd have no clue about it.

at the same time, him @ diana like "i didnt correct your opinion on cael because i thought you'd come around on your own🥺" Just Ain't It. the two of you were practically raised as brothers and you still didnt try to mediate between him and your girlfriend?? hello??? especially considering that he saved your entire kingdom a massive headache???

all that being said

i think maybe the timeline here has been too vague. just how much time was between cael and diana's fight and diana and the prince's wedding? prince has made it sound like he doesnt have the full picture, yet at the same time he definitely knows diana's opinion on cael. if i had a clearer picture of how long the prince had waited before reaching out, i'd be able to understand cael's feelings better.

#wwaffles bein' an idiot #wwaffles reads stuff #on the other hand diana's losing her powers is definitely due to a lack of conviction #we can see that shes losing her powers EARLIER this time around than she did last time #no thanks to hestias putting pressure on her #her entire thing with cael was her 'staying true to her values' but she genuinely HASNT been doing that #shes already conflicted about being unable to outright condemn him for his actions due to her connection to him #but ever since she married into the royal family she hasnt been doing her duty as the saintess for the people #that in and of itself is a break with her own values and she likely knows #that if she confronts one of these breaks in her values she HAS to confront all of them #if she could own up that she made a mistake she'd probably regain her powers again #but as it is the continued stress being stacked on due to her refusing to acknowledge it is only going to make things worse #i have a feeling that hestia is going to accidentally help her through this honestly #not on purpose. but her backhanded compliments and hard truths might actually have the effect of making diana confront herself #that would be funny #anyway. tldr i feel bad for everyone involved except for hestia cause shes living her best life and i support her❤ #(jk i feel bad for hestia too one of the recent chapters touched a little bit on her desperation)
