I wanted Rustal to die, preferably by an assassination planned by Kudelia, and for Julietta to succeed him and make a better world than one ruled by a corrupt, conniving old man.

I wanted Julietta to be beat up badly by Barbatos before Mika eventually succumbs to his wounds, or spares Julietta after realizing that he has already arrived at the destination with Orga.

I wanted a better ending than this.
