im thinking about caramelinda…… who sent her husband and her daughters to the capitol only hear of MULTIPLE assassination attacks against her husband and her family as a whole, followed by the news that her husband had a prior marriage to a commoner during the war and has gotten excommunicated from the church, causing him- and by extension their whole family- to lose their crown and title and throw candia into war with the concord
thinking about caramelinda………… who lost the love of her life and three of her sisters in law in one fell swoop, who is thrown again into a country in war, and who has no idea where her husband and daughters are, if they’re even alive, if they escaped from the capitol and when they’re coming back to candia, who can’t stop thinking about the last loved one she lost to comeda, who’s so scared of losing once again the only people she holds dear
thinking about caramelinda…….. who is SO grateful and happy to have her daughters back, who is stern and exacting because she was thrown into a position as queen she never anticipated, and who lost the person she loved most and never wants to lose someone she loves again, not if she can help it; so she’s harsh with her daughters because she loves them and wants the best for them and wants to protect them (the way she could never protect lazuli)
caramelinda…………….. the first thing she says to her daughters is that shes so happy they’re safe and happy and that they’ve done nothing wrong, she insists that theo gets the girls safely into the castle so they can rest from their journey and she can keep them safe knowing theyre home again
caramelinda, who announces that NONE of them are war guys because theyre CHILDREN and that she is going to keep them in the castle where theyre SAFE, that they need to REST and STUDY because war is coming and caramelinda knows what war does, how it tears and steals the people you love away from you, and how desperately she wants to make sure her daughters (and liam) are safe and prepared for what’s coming
caramelinda, who is told by theo of her daughters’ skills and growth, and how they remind him of rococco and lazuli, who were powerful and skilled and strong even though they were young, who sends her daughters away into the castle after yelling at them
caramelinda, who has so much stress and weight on her shoulders, who is still bearing the grief of losing the love of her life and having to marry her younger brother, of having to bear all his duties as monarch, of having been thrust again into a war with more people she can stand to lose this time
caramelinda, who gets a letter from a trusted spy about something important, who doesn’t know its a trap for her, who doesn’t know her daughters saw the letter and went sneaking out again, who doesn’t know (yet) that jet and ruby and liam fell prey to the trap that was meant to kill her
caramelinda, who’s going to wake up to her husband betrayed by one of his most trusted friends, to enemies and spies inside and surrounding her castle, to theo breaking out of prison, to liam and ruby rushing home from dulcington, to news that ceresian spies has them surrounded and is trying- once again- to kill the royal famly
caramelinda, who’s daughter died in the trap meant for her
