Ugh she should've used her powers on that ass0/e and make him confess.
Spoiler!
The potrait of elandria is not of the real person. It's the bista b@$tardo's plan to k!ll the real honest elandria and cledwin's ancestor who was an elf (I forgot his name) and put someone in their place (but he only succeeded with the elandrias and cledwin's ancestors probably? Not sure? Ran to the north and bisto exiled then citing whatever reason)and that's why bisto became emperor but bisto really did have powers of incredible strength but he was greedy fella.
