Is it actually just fate?

So you're telling me fate is the one that warned Ji-Ae? I don't really understand. So why was Arthur not aware of this? He knows what he needs in order to achieve his goal, so why did fate not tell him or maybe even hide this fact from him?

Tbh, I'm more towards the fact that Fate isn't an absolute thing. We've seen fate in the 4th keystone, we've seen something similar when Sylvie was revived and when she changed her Aether affinity. Now we've seen it again. I somehow find it hard to believe that they are all just the same fate. Either there are multiple Fates, or it's not actually fate to being with. Maybe it's Deva? Maybe it's something else 🤷‍♂️ can't be sure for now

Regardless, i can't believe we got 2 good chapters back to back 😭 well, is suppose all those Alaric POVs make more sense now (we couldn't just have Ji-Ae explain it randomly lol). Ngl, this is the type of pacing I like. It's not too fast, but many things happened just 2 chapters than the rest of volume 12 chapters lol
