^ Holy moly guacamole, I see, I know little of THE princess Kaguya, it sounds like a very complicated dynamic those two have...is there a game for this I could get my paws on? also thank you so much, for replying to me.
@random I've actually discussed it for a while, and a lot of people aren't actually sure if its step-mom or biological mom that changed her last name when she jumped clan.
^doesn't really help that the primary sources from Shotoku's time are pretty vague about such things. And the Japanese ruling class of the day may already have had the headache-inducing complicated system of multiple different names for different contexts well attested to from somewhat later...
Wouldn't really make much difference though given how aristocratic families tended to work.
It's not just cause Reed is from Victoria, it's also cause she's very likely to be the heir to the Dracos in Victoria and is basically the enemy family against Siege's for the fight for the throne.
Siege x Reed is kinda like Romeo x Juliet but on a bigger scale.
