On the other hand, Cass just letting you kill her is really suspicious, she probably has a plan to restore herself somehow as she wanted her body taken by her servant so perhaps this decision isn't as final as it seems and she is just pushing you to see how far you will go and adjust her plans accordingly.
Yeah, more than a little suspicious...
I wouldn't be surprised if she had prepared some fake death poison for her weapon and she is in her hideout and her underlings are nearby.
On the other hand, that would be extremly stupid from the MC...i mean, he still likes her even when he kills her, so you'd suspect he stabs her in a vital organ to make the death short, painless and makeing sure she is death of course.
Dunno, would be very weak plot twist if she survives cause the MC was to dumb too make sure she's really death.
According to the prophecy in the beginning of the game, both killing Cass or agreeing with her coup are bad ideas that will lead us to a bad ending, as neither her nor the king can die or the remaining "snakes" will kill each other and you will fall along with them... I just don't know if the third "snake" is the mother or Ellin, the cradle remark makes sense for both right?
Well prophecys are seldom set in stone or unchangeable, and interpreting them right is an entierly different matter...
Some writer make it so that in one or another way the prophecys can apply to multiple characters, depending how you interpret it, or current events.
The mother i can totaly see ploting with the elves, but i really doubt she would do anything to bring her family in danger.
Elin....yeah sorry but just no, she isn't a plotter, just can't see it, at least not currently.
