honestly i got a little sick the first i read those chapters it is so fucking horrible asdjkakfds

like. even leaving out the relationship between those three. taking children and modifying their bodies so they can never develop their full potential. dooming them to a premature death if they wanted to keep the standard that had been set for their family. it's so fucking evil no wonder the asrahans fucking hated the imperial family. they had every reason for it.

there literally wouldn't have been an empire had it not been for lloyd and javier and that fucker had the audacity to preemptively punish an innocent family that had been a pillar for the empire for generations by then just because they had the power to rebel i want to bite someone

and then the fact that every emperor after visconti continued with that practice (including asterion) is like,,,,, what a bunch of fucking assholes lmao

and like!! it was so counterproductive!!! the asrahans were loyal to the imperial family!! they would've laid down their lives for them had they asked them to!! javier made sure of it!! his loyalty to lloyd was so strong that he did what he could to make sure his descendants would never abandon the fronteras and the magentanos!!! and it worked!!!!

even after being betrayed, even after being drove to a premature death, even after being humiliated by the imperial family, the asrahans were still loyal because javier asked them to. imagine what they would've done for the imperial family had they been loyal back. had the magentanos been as loyal to the asrahans as lloyd was to javier, there wouldn't have been force on the world that would've made the asrahans turn on them just like there was no higher power that could stop javier from standing at lloyd's side.

but instead visconti stabbed them in the back and his descendants continued down that horrible road and by the time rakiel arrived the only thing standing between the asrahans and outright rebellion was javier's will. and that would've only lasted for so long before a less filial descendant decided following his ancestor's wishes wasn't enough to justify them enduring such humiliation and pain.

who says the one who sticks with volleyball is the more successful one by default, huh?
