My prediction is that Hestia will truly give up revenge for Kael’s sake, but - oh no! - Diana is going to be punished anyways because too much has happened for Helios to fix it all. So it’ll end up being a half-assed revenge, where Diana is ruined but not technically because of Hestia.
And yeah, you can argue that Hestia’s character growth is realizing revenge is bad or whatever. But like you said, getting revenge was the PREMISE OF THE STORY. It’s such a cop-out to suddenly prevent Hestia from finishing what she started.
Honestly close enough but in the end Hess does get her happy ending along with her revenge to a certain level because they end up regretting it and apologizing to Kael. And losing a lot of power and support.
Completly agree with you, the character growth thing always feels like a cop out when It comes to those revenge stories. Also, unfortunaly, after reading Kooki reply It seems we're both right, it will end with a half assed revenge not exactly due to Hestia's but because to much happened for everyone to ignore, but hey, at least they have a happy ending.... (╯ ;–;)╯╧╧
Thx for the info, I guess by now i read so manny on this trope and thats why i could see that coming, but hey at least they have a happy ending, thats good to know

And Helios and Diana divorced. Helios married someone else and Diana was just a nurse to the emperor until he died then she left the palace. I was quite satisfied with the ending. Also hestia and kael have 3 kids
You know when you get the bad feeling you know where things are going? My guess is that she will give up the revenge for his sake, he's probably going to take over the revenge but will give up at some point, she probably will think it was all for nothing and want to go back to her world, he wont let and will confess his feelings, It will become some cliche "forget the revenge and lets be lovely dovey" instead and thats that. No revenge is acomplished, the crown princess stay the crown princess, yada yada, the end. Honestly, i hate when that happens, where they just give up the entire revenge plot and thats it, like the whole premise of the work wasnt the revenge or like the main character can't have the revenge and be happy and lovely dovey at the same time, they gotta picky one thing and thats it. It always feels cliche and unsatisfatory when these type of stories follow this path, because the whole point of these works was the revenge + happy end, not one or the other. Idk, maybe its just me, but It always feels a bit "meh" when it goes that way. This is all just guessing bc of the way its going, idk if she actually gets the revenge or not, its just that bad feeling that the revenge part of the plot will go away to focus on romance, like It happens in a lot of works with the same premise, i really hope thats not the case because the fl is such a badass and it was so good this far, It would be a complete waste to completly give up the revenge arc when we know she can have both, i mean look at her and tell me that she can't have the revenge and the happy lovely dovey end, you can't, because we all know she definitely can do both. Sorry for the rant Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
