Riri's comments

@Hakutou

@i Should sleep at times like this, just think a bit around the corner and you can understand what they meant even so the translations is a mess

@TotallyAbsurd she isn't his daughter, so ofc the revelation you mention is underwhelming, because there was none

@Rebel against the harem I wonder why everyone is so harsh on the mother
She's by far the one suffering the most besides Ria from this whole situation, of course she's sceptical after so many people tried to trick their family with fake daughters and now it seems to her that her family is forgetting about her daughter and try to replace her with Ria, so I can relate her taking such a causious position

Also when it's undoubtly proven that Ria is her real daughter, she suffers from regret that she treated her so harshly and that she also have to make up for it as well as losing her when she was a child

Give the mother a brake

@Olean Ruzz You mean I'm being raised by villians or Lord Baby runs the Romance Fantasy with cash?
I'm not sure either because the Dads look all alike

@floating kettle even tho I don't like her reaction and behaviour towars Ria either, if you try to see it from her perspective it's a little bit relatable why she said those things, there is no one who loves Ria as much as the grand duchess does, that's why she oversteps when she's reminded of her daughter or even when she thought her father is trying to replace his grandchild with our Ria (no one knows she's his real grandchild)

@Rebel against the harem But it"s not the case here, in the novel she will never really forgive herself for how she treated Ria and will always try to make up for it and all the years they lost together
Her reaction is relatable, her father making a supposedly stranger girl call him grandfather as if in her eyes he's trying to replace her true and his true grandchild
There is no one suffering as much as the mother, Ria never really thought of her real family before she met the Grand Duchess and the mother even feels when her daughter is crying far away and suffers from it, thats how deeply their bond is

@Lil-Hari Yeah Cathrine is kinda forced into the role of a villainess by her parents threating her, when she found out Alicia is her true mom, but does she really have no feelings for Diana after all the love she received from her all these years? I believe her fear of losing everthing is heavier than her actual feelings towards either Alicia or Diana, that's why she once thought she doesn't care who is her mother as long as she get to marry that Sawyer boy. She is also very cruel and deserves a punishment but I can not not feel at least a bit of sympathy for her

@Vance Ashworth If I can recall correctly it seems like Catherine got kind of pressed into playing the villainess. After she discovered her real mother was Alicia while she was all cozy with her father, they threatend and pressured her with what might happen if Diana was to find out she is not her true child, she may lose everything. Like they would tell her, so she should just play her role and everthing will work out. Also Catherine once thought she doesn't care who her real mother is, as long as she can marry this Sawyer boy, so I believe she got no lingering feelings for her real mother aswell. Deep down I think the mothers are quite equal for her, the one it the mother who raised her, who she spend all years with and the other is her real mother, a bond exists even with no history together. Due to the role she was forced in she acts pro actively towards her real mother but in reality she doesn't care about this. I end up having a bit of sympathy for her but also don't like what she did, these are mixed feelings about her

@Average Dude Maybe you forgot, they were kinda forced to stay in the heroes party, due to the damage the hero caused while they were present
If they left the party they would've been captured and brought into prison, but that might have been the better option in the end
