This didn't translate that well but in Chinese it's obvious that her friend was actually the Director's biological daughter, hence her friend dodging the subject when Arle asks if "do mothers usually argue with their daughters" when there's clear signs of abuse, and how mad Arle is when the Director talks about "pruning the flower long before it wilted" and "innocence is useless" since she's referring to her dead daughter.
@@Sltd18601 Well technically the previous Knave was also the "king" and went by "mother" so this means nothing Besides, she said no to becoming the "king" The "mother" presented herself as loving and caring but was mistreating the kids behind closed doors so she decided to become a strict and unfeeling "father" on the surface but actually cares. She wanted to be the opposite.
@@arlecchino7936 i believe the “mother” did not actually have the title as she is the one who started the organisation (Correct me if i’m wrong). The “king” can only be granted by the “mother”
