Now, I wanted to point out why these images alone show the dynamic/conflic between the two.
Accompanied with the lyrics of the cover, it is shown how both are prideful in one way or the other:
"Now, how about that pride of yours? A matter of morals, of course-"
Catheryne takes pride in her morality and family name, which is why she has an identity crisis over the fact that she is known, at best, as either a widow or the princess of the Beauties.
Meredith, on the other hand, is prideful in every plan he conjures up because if he doesn’t, he might as well have a breakdown at any moment. He is also extremely arrogant in general and completely selfish.
So you can imagine a selfless woman who values peoples safety being pitted against a selfish bastard who takes insane risks.
Another line that also is important
"Poor little boy can't solve all his problems with force."
It might sound a tad hypocritical coming from a warrior, but Cathy has been doing nothing but passive actions unless she is forced to do it otherwise.
The only times she harmed someone was out of vengeful impulse or to protect somebody.
And an earlier line actually shows how Cathy mocks Meredith's nature:
"But don't forget with whom you are associated, which sounds unfair yet 'fair play is overrated'."
Which essentially translates to "You made a deal with the God of trickery and treachery. And now you bite the bullet you shot."
Cathy does believe in fair play. Obviously, she does. She won't fight an opponent if she believes it's not necessary or impossible to lose to. But she does see when someone is using a foul ball in court.
Hell, the first lines of the song encapsulate how Cathy is dissapointed in Meredith and believes he could play all of this nonsense much smarter than he is playing it as:
"So naive to run on the edge of the knife
This is the worst mistake you could make in your life
To spark a flame you were never meaning to light
You're smart enough to not ignite
Even Meredith is aware he is making a risk, but he is either not taking it as seriously or pretending he isn't.
I am genuinely happy I could use this cover to show Catherynes' beliefs in more detail, and I got to sing with a bastard on top of it. (Love you, Quadratus)
