#I’m so tired of the hate Ari gets just because people want a morally righteous female lead

Ariadne was brought back to her family to be Isabella’s ‘replacement’ since Isabella didn’t want to get engaged with Cesare. She was abused by her stepmother and stepsister, her father didn’t care about her, and was treated as trash by basically everyone. She was groomed by her family to get engaged to Cesare when she was 15 years old and he was 21 years old so she thought Cesare was the only one who cared for her and was on her side. She was in love with him for 14-15 years, that’s why she’s so obsessed with him and is sometimes delusional.

This is the “girl boss” people stan just because she said one right comment about men in the first chapters.

What Ari did isn’t excused and she’s totally not innocent, but let’s not forget that all that happened because of the people around her who used her. If Isabella didn’t decide to tell her family to bring Ari back because she didn’t want to get engaged to Cesare, then none of this would’ve happened.

I hate how people say Ariadne shouldn’t wants revenge on this life because she’s not innocent, when she never even said that 😑

She only said she won’t allow anyone to take advantage of them, that doesn’t mean she wants revenge on them. Has Ari done something bad to them on purpose just because she wanted to? No. She only does something when they’re planning to do something to her (Isabella messing with her every time she can, Lucrezia blaming her on everything, etc).

And I’m tired with people saying Ari is “grooming” Alfonso 😫 she has no power in this life so she decided to curry favor with Alfonso so she’ll have her own power and won’t be forced to get engaged to Cesare. Sure, she was using him at the start but it wasn’t even in a malicious way, she was going to help him become king and be on his side. She also immediately later regrets it and doesn’t want to use him because she starts to care for him.

I don’t see this type of energy/hate with MLs that killed the FL In their past life for no reason 🫠
