So, in today’s Episode, Venus said that said Saturn and Neptune are traitors, she automatically becomes the new eldest sibling. (As you’ve said already, the order is: Neptune, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto)
So, does that mean that in the clan, when a sibling or family member is a traitor, the second oldest becomes the next in line?? What would that mean for Venus? Would that mean she takes over for Neptune or the Grand Celestial starts giving her a new order?
So this is the story point that will get confusing but Im gonna do my best to explain.
In fear of Pluto she did agree that Neptune is a traitor like Saturn. Since she didn't know what else say that would please Pluto. Saturn however reminds her sister that "Neptune isn't marked for punishment yet so we should be in the clear." Meaning that technically Neptune can still take the throne. Unless he is marked as a moon fallen. Neptune isn't exactly a traitor. Just pluto throwing words.
Venus declaring herself as the Oldest after Neptune and Saturn leans into she has more authority over Pluto and Juni. Just because neptune isn't there doesn't mean she loss her position. She reminds him who she is. But Pluto doesn't care about that. Venus doesn't fight, to Pluto that means she is nothing. In Pluto's world, unless you can fight. You are beneath him.
Now if the story progresses, being branded as a Moon fallen means all loss the right to the throne. Venus is 3rd in line unless stated otherwise. If Neptune is branded, Saturn is already the Venus is technically supposed to be the next Grand Celestial. However, this isn't the only way to earn the throne. Saturn has said you can fight for the throne before. Anyone is welcomed to challenge the current Grand Celestial for it. Just most cases ends in death.
But details on that will be revealed later. Hope this helps~ and yeah broke down the scene more. Sorry if it got confusing ;w;
