#but now that that is put in perspective (and parallelism to Pholia's bond to a primal and her dislike of their father)

[icharchivist]

her being the True King’s daughter explain why she’s so protective of him and therefore i give her a pass for how shitty she has been about it. Most likely she’s not in a situation to know any better and just need a wakeup call that her father sucks.

that being said, IT MEANS IT’S PHOLIA’S LITTLE SISTER?????? HOLY SHIT.

Pholia has talked before about how much she used to love her sister and that, when she was locked in a cell at her father’s order, her sister would come and read stories to her and that’s how Pholia learnt about the outside world. In a sense, they seemed close.

But man idk i’d think that knowing her older sister had been locked in a cell for decades (if i believe my math) would be enough for her to not specifically trust her father. but at the same time she seems to believe that the True Knight trusts Pholia more than her which, if we believe Pholia, is either 1) him genuinely trusting Pholia once he made her his personal weapon after emotionally abusing her by keeping her locked for decades, probably thinking that his manipulation would be enough power on her to trust her, 2) him pitying the two girls against one another and emotionally manipulating his younger daughter by twisting how the relationship with the eldest was.

Oh BOY THAT’S SHITTY.

Ok want to fight the True King More now.
