I think I see what's going on. Elin's daughter with the MC either has time powers or cross reality powers...and she seems to have the ability to neutralize both the Red Emperor and Mirtha. But I think that's the correct path...I think the spirits warning the MC against her are either agents of the Red Emperor or Mirtha...but I think those two are just two sides of the genocide coin. I don't believe Mirtha's intentions are any better than the Red Emperor's. She wants to slaughter humans whereas the Red Emperor wants to slaughter elves. None of the elves we've run into so far besides the Queen have been anything but enemies to the MC and humanity. Now it is believed that not all elves are bad but we haven't seen any who aren't. So I'm not buying into Mirtha's BS. I think both of them are terrified of Elin's daughter.

I haven't joined the coup and have no intention of doing so but basically the gist of it is the MC becomes Cass's pawn as she blackmails him...she needs him to be the figure on the throne as she can't rule herself but he falls under her control...unless he finds a way to kill her. Sooo yeah...I don't see why anyone would want that.What is the benefit of joining and not joining the coup? I saw someone said it will have much less content to play if not joining?

The Coup can be approached plenty of ways.What is the benefit of joining and not joining the coup? I saw someone said it will have much less content to play if not joining?
- You can side with Cass before it starts. Assuming you have enough points with her. Getting the Green path.
- You can side with Cass before it starts. Assuming you have enough points with her. Then you can let Callahan or whatever his name is kill Cass. Getting the Red path.
- You can kill Cass before it starts. This results in the coup instantly failing for her allies. So less content. Which is the White Path?
- You can allow the Coup to play out and join Cass in the prison. Which leaves you pretty much neutral. Green path?
- You can allow the Coup to play out and join Cass. Then with Isis as your wife, you can have her kill Cass via being the better schemer of the two. Red path.
- You can allow the Coup to play out and stay in prison. This allows you to escape and capture Cass. Which also allows you to handle how you want to deal with her. Either being able to execute her, fix her or turn her into your pet. People die on this path though, like Ludwig. But you do get some lewd scenes with Queen and Elin after successfully escaping and beating them. White path.
There's also some variation depending on if you know Priscilla or not. She escapes if you don't know her. The "best" path would be the white one where you stay in prison and prevent the coup. You get more scenes with Queen and Elin that way. However, if you're into Cass, then the best path is to join the Coup before it starts. That way you get more scenes with her. That should cover just about everything. Minus some bits and pieces here and there.

As a completely unbiased player, who else thinks we should get a route where Cass ends up as ruling Empress?

Honestly, nobody of value is lost in her sad little coup. Even Ludwig survives as a cat. But you get to see a lot more of Alaina's treachery and start to piece together things a lot better. I think letting Cass's coup play out and escaping means you can actually gain far better control of the situation and you can even keep Cass around as a pet...which should pay out with more scenes later on. Plus it's exactly what Cass deservers...letting her control the MC is a major NO, and killing her means no future scenes with her. Plus White Emperor is the best path imo.

I see, thanks for answering, and may I ask what is the color flag represent for? Does it lock the future contents, like red lock other plot expect the southern or green lock others expect western? Or it just related to the ending about red emperor and elf godness?
The paths for Red/Green/White Emperor aren't very clear right now in terms of their full implications. For now Red presumably means more aligned with Red Emperor but I don't think that locks out major choices in how you handle conflicts so it's a bit unclear. Green probably means you're more aligned with the elves as Cass was more of a pawn herself even though she has power over the MC. And white is presumably more of a neutral or middle path. That's my read anyway.
So far on the green you don't side with the elves. Cass has a third option where you basically side with neither the rebels or the lords and Cass recruits her mom's side of the family to sweep in and restores order after Henry and his dad successfully kill each other.
You're right green path is more like being a pawn of the elves than actively aligned with them...since that's basically who played Cass into doing her coup...the same as they are trying to play the youth uprising in the west. They want weak human rulers and to manipulate humans into killing each other. Cass is a pretty dumb megalomaniac narcissist who would rather kill everyone if she can't rule them...completely mad with hatred. That plays perfectly into the elves' hands...and she was manipulated by Alaina the same way as Priscillas was...she's the agent of the elves trying to destroy the human kingdom.

You know, rereading Alaina talk again. Didn't the ending pretty much hint that the King is also the father of Celestine's children? At least that's where my mind went to on this other playthrough I just finished. Since his lover was an elf and her children were born outside of the forest. And this was before Alaina took away his ability to reproduce. So if those twins are older, chances are, they're the King's as well.
So from this update, if this is true.
Elis, Elin and Lia are the younger siblings/cousins of Noira and Arion. While Cass is Elis, Elin and Lia cousin. Also, it's kind of funny how Noira and Arion got the twin thing going. Their names being just the backwards version of each other. But the Queen and Celestine have completely different sounding names. Pretty much being the only twins like that. It would make more sense for Queen to be named Seraphine over Serafina. Since Celestine and Seraphine pretty much go together.
Anyway, that's my late night thoughts. This family is potentially getting kind of crazy.

It seems there are 3 major doom visions in the game world that both related to the three princess, since chater 1 is finish in next updat I think it may have 3 chapters for mc to solve the doom as ch1 is more focus on the kindom(Just reach before the coup not sure about this guessing)?
First is cass who represent the war and kill, very obvious and kind of easy to solve when compare to the other two, especially you can kill her very early.
Second is elin who represent the magic doom. Since this world is not like the dragon age the chance of mage rebel is little, so it is something that related to the protal I think? Maybe elin disappointed by human and connect the world to the white forstby by portal like witcher?
And the final is ophie who represent the death. As she is sick and in the vision she affraid the death and trying to escape, maybe something cause the rising dead and related to the sickness of white blood?
Though the vision by using white blood is unclear to me. The vision for alaina maybe something that is related to the nature or elf race? The carring baby woman is spring/val(since there are the first to have the opportunity to have mc's child) or cass in the future?

what does shaming arurora do, is that the corruption path. also is there a coruption path for the for all three sisters, like the mother?
I haven't shamed Aurora, but I assume it's just a slight difference in there scenes with Aurora being more loving or less loving towards the mc depending on how you interact with her. Nothing major.
not to be rude, but if that's the case why did you reply? this isn't school, if you don't know the answer you don't have to reply....
now can anyone WHO HAS SHAMED HER or at the very least KNOWS THE ANSWER to my questions, give me an answer?
Because that is literally exactly how it is for Isis's points so I cant imagine it would be a significant difference for Aurora. Also because I read the walkthrough where it just says aurora fears you vs aurora loves you. Just a difference for the sex scene. Nothing that effects the plot.

Shaming Aurora changes her dialogue during the sex scenes, she's less into it, especially on the wedding night. My first mage playthrough was Elin focused so I didn't catch that I had 1 love and 1 shame point with Aurora and ended up getting most of the shame dialogue until he got back from the West and had the opportunity to get another love point.
ty. now i know there's a corruption for the mother , but what about every one else?
