But before we get to Diana’s love life, we need to settle things with Palmia. When we last left off, the bad guys had disrupted a ceremony meant to kick off Saint Diana’s pilgrimage. Scarlet is quick to jump into action, so she chucks a single spear and demolishes an entire building belonging to the Palmiam faith. We then see a bunch of Palmian adherents gnash their teeth and curse the “blasphemer” who would dare attack them. On the one hand, we know these are the bad guys; we know they deserve it. But on the other hand, she is kinda overstepping her bounds. I suppose it helps to have the crown prince in your pocket, but still, Scarlet is playing judge, jury, and executioner. For now, the people are on her side. I just wonder if the story will ever consider having the pendulum swing the other way, i.e. the people slowly becoming scared of Scarlet for perhaps going too far one day. For example, Batman might be a hero, but he’s still a vigilante who some people reasonably oppose for his extrajudicial actions.
