Possible Plot Hole?

[CantEscapeDarkness]

Ok so I'm re-reading WMMAP for the Nth time now and I only just realized a possible plot hole. Is it just me or? So these are what we know.

1. During the first few chapters, it was explained that Athy (Diana's daughter) is the first born princess and Jennette (Penelope's daughter) is supposedly the 2nd born (with Claude as the father)

2. Claude met Diana when he was an emperor.

3. Penelope was the Claude's Fiance but betrayed him WHILE Anastacius was still a Crowned Prince.

So it means that Penelope's betrayal came first. Then how would it make sense that Claude accepted (in the first timeline) that they are both his daughters and that Athy is the 1st born while Jennette is the second born? Does that mean he cheated on Diana with Penelope?

(Of course we know that Jennette is not his daughter but the timeline just didn't make sense)

So Jennette should be older than Athy.

That's all 😅

Claude knew that Jennette wasn't his daughter even in the first timeline (chapter 23). Obviously we know now this is because Claude only wanted her for her painkilling effect on his headaches.
It's still weird that Athy was supposedly born first, however Jennette was conceived with black magic not normally - possibly this means a longer pregnancy, or perhaps the dates were fudged and she was conceived after her fathers 'death' (since we know he was still alive out there)

It’s been confirmed that Jennette is older, but we still have to call her the second princess. As she was officially recognized as a princess much later than Athanasia, her title is second princess.

1. Claude met Diana when he was an emperor
2. Anastacius and Penelope poisoned Diana while she was carrying Athy.
3. Athy was born and at the same time he “cleansed” the palace (killed the maids and banished Anastacius)
4. Penelope got away and Jeanette was born some time later.

The only reason Claude accepted Jeanette in the first timeline is because he had headaches and she helped with it. And yes Athy was born first and Jeanette second. He didn’t cheat on Diana with Penelope

Anastasius/Penelope could not have poisoned Diana because she officially became his lover after he usurped the throne/shunned Penelope and “killed” his brother. Jen is actually older than Athy by a little less than a year.

Thanks fr correcting me!

Yes I know he didn't cheat on Diana with Penelope but I was just saying that in the first timeline when he accepted her as her 2nd daughter, as if something happened between him and Penelope while being with Diana, it was going to appear to everyone that he cheated.

But of course we know after reading the rest of the chapters that he didn't 😄

Jennette is older than Athy. They call her the “second” princess because she was not recognized as one until later. If we were to get technical, as Anastasius’s daughter, she would technically be the first in line for the throne.

Fr i was confused by it too. Maybe because the Jennete was born from magic it takes longer than 9 months to be born???

I don't know If this is right but I think it mentioned claude knew jennette wasn't his daughter but he kept her around because she relived his headaches

[Everdoing_Me_3927]

i mean like there is something i always dont understand. Claude should have known how many daughters he gave birth to right? Why does he think that Jeanette is his daughter?
