Both Conrad and Alaina throwing the hail Mary out of desperation when you're siding to their opposition.
I'm glad on siding with Conrad, I was choosing to see the past when offered by the mysterious no name women that Elis encounter when riding to the west. It is confirm Alaina confession of Regis-Sybilla incident.
Cass probably will forgive her mother for killing her wife beater father. But goddamn if living Cass learn that her mother slain by Alaina for the sake to have elvish blood as the heir of the throne. Omg, she's gonna wreck havoc the kingdom just to find Alaina. I love to see dev make that path. It will be bloody as Elis dream encounter the Red Emperor and Mirtha. That when you choose Cassandra, the vision were she bath in blood.
But that doesn't mean Elin story has a good end too. Because in Elis first dream vision, Elin will become the one who end the Empire too. The Starhead chronicle are bound to have a grim end.
For Seraphina love route, I think it just not finished yet, unlike the Lust path that have happy ending. We'll see in the final Chapter 1 update.
Btw, have anyone knew about Catalina's fate ? (The red hair women in the west) In every civil war path, Catalina is just M.I.A.. Maybe because I didn't choose her at the tavern.
Also I was wonder who was fake-Regis first women before the true-Regis~Sybilla incident ? ... Alaina said he have children from that women, which also an elf. Was this women is Celestine ? ... since she so adamant to say Seraphina was stealing her fate. Are both Noira and Arion (twins, the name are mirroring each another) not Elis cousin but half sibling ?
