@Paro except her family was literally precisioned to be an oppression to the Lombardi that was likely one of he conditions to her becoming the empress. While her farther wasn't as smart as her he was still ambitious and he had a hand in the Brown family's fall and worked with the crown before but I doubt that alone would of been enough to secure the position of empress for his daughter. But seeing how effectively they took down the browns the emperor likely wanted them to take the Lombardi down a peg or two or at least keep them in check a plan that worked in the original timeline before the 2nd prince killed her. If however she was born in the Lombardi she would have had more freedom to choose her own path sure she would likely still be a manipulative schemer but as long as those scheme benefited the Lombardi she would have been accepted.
@Pharaoh Atem well I believe that a person's childhood/adulthood is shaped by his/her surroundings. Her taking this kind of path definitely influenced by her family conditions and obviously how emperor's actions were.
Still as a Lombardi her aura design would've absolutely shadowed by Tia's presence. How Shannet is very much capable of being the matriarch of Lombardi but she stepped down for Tia. And every Lombardi family members are only thinking of Tia becoming the matriarch not Shannet. If the empress born in Lombardi then I bet she won't leave her matriarch status for Tia, her character design is like that. As a very ambitious independent and power hungry person she would absolutely turn into a villainess again just to remove Tia from her path. As a result her own family will turn back and maybe exiled her also. What I am trying to say is, doesn't matter which family the empress born into, her fate is to be a villainess if we keep her original personalities, if we soft down her ambitions, and make her more kind and etc etc like Shannet, then she won't be original. That's another Shannet for us. I hope you get my pov.😿😿
