Right because I've played the game and the sequel and they never explain why Parfait never stepped up and rebutted the fairytales. Or helped Hildyr. She was Hildyr's best friend but she let her crumble under all that weight. In the sequel, they try to make an excuse that Parfait was influenced by the Lucim crystal which strived on positive feelings, and because of that she was extremely optimistic about the situation but that makes no sense. She witnessed the harassment and killing of witches and never did anything, she witnessed Hildyr killing the king and didn't do anything. The only time she got involved is when Waltz decided to betray Hildyr. If not for him, Hildyr would still be ruling. The fact of the matter was Parfait didn't see a need to step in because it wasn't affecting her. She doesn't even stop Delora's cruel remarks towards Lucette, she just gives her a stern look then changes the topic. Parfait is a coward and ultimately that caused problems. Another thing that showed Lucette did not deserve this was her relationship with her dad. She's so forgiving in every route she tries to build a relationship with him again and it just boggles me. He spent 4 years after Hildyr's death ignoring and mistreating her but for some reason, he gets the chance at forgiveness? And they try to remedy this by saying he couldn't be near her because of Hildyr and he hosted those surprise parties for her but that all stopped when Hildyr died. Meaning he stopped expressing his love for her. And for no reason too since no one was blocking him from it. I do agree that he showed more care towards Emelaigne and Rod than his own child which is disgusting. This game loves making Lucette the villain or the bad person but no one else was held accountable for their actions.
