Wouldn’t be the first time Mikoto stole someone else’s kids and treated them as her own.
Even did it with her own sister, but then wouldn’t even claim her niece so she could still suffer racism and persecution. Now that’s soem cold ass shit lol
and considering all azura is dealing with, and the fact Arete sacrificed her life…
Funny thing is , I’m not even joking. If you examine Mikoto’s actions before the story she’s an awful, awful person who essentially stole the kingdom, got a lot of people killed and endangered the entire world because she just couldn’t bother. She’s a monster lol
The only question is who is worse between her and Rhea.
Mikoto by far. Rhea at least tried to do good things a lot of the time. Mikoto basically only did bad things and when she had the chance to do any amount of good, she simply chose not to even bother. I guess her barrier was pretty decent, unless you think about what she could do with that barrier and what’s he didn’t do.
