Why would Letty ever think Claude would even consider going with Stephanie? She has already proven herself toxic and treated him like an object to own not a person.
Tell me if I'm stupid but what's the point of spurring the people to burn the villa when you wanted said villa ? Or maybe Stephanie is just like "If I can't get it, no one else will get it !" ?
And she practically admitted theft in front of a royal (even if in disguise, his testimony is still as valid) so where are the cops ?
Thanks for picking this up
BUT
I came here straight from binging 5+ volumes of "Accomplishments of a Duke's Daughter" and I'm shocked by the contrast. I now realize that this story is garbage, I'm sorry.
But yeah, this whole Arc is pretty bad in general. I would have preferred if it stopped and had a happy ending at the end of the first game/season/story line.
