@aeeeeeeeeeeeee Don't forget what also makes Hestia a great MC compared to most is that she actually thinks about the consequences of her schemes/actions before she commits to them; no reckless seizing of opportunitistic events for minor gains, no mindless gambles, and especially her trying and actually succeeding for the most part at not letting emotions get in the way of her plans. Every scheme, gamble, action, etc is well thoughtout by Hestia, it's no wonder every one of her schemes succeeded in the novel.......
Spoiler!
.....well minus the one with getting Diana abdicated but even then that was Kaelus simply changing his mind after deciding that Hestia doesn't need to fu** over Diana anymore. Tho the fact Helios eventually divorces Diana anyways and marries a nicer girl, is still a win for Hestia in my book.
