I think we’re forgetting something that makes Lucrezia such an tentatively endearing character: She’s in denial. She’s delusional, she’s in denial, she rejects her own feelings; she thinks she’s got over her affection for Nemesis when in fact she’s not; she thinks she’s helping Ichijou relax when in fact she’s the one wanting some comfort.

Part of her sympathy for Nero isn’t (just) because she’s a nice person, but because she knows the feeling of how one’s situation holds their feelings back, yet refuses to lay with him and Nemesis because she feels it’ll break her heart seeing her with a man and that same man doing it with her; but thinks being just ‘her maid’ is good enough. Unlike aria who loves both Nemesis and Nero, Lucrezia loves Nemesis only. She only teases Ichijou because he’s a little less guilty.

Also, she has a defeated mentality, which is true by the great scheme of things. What is she? A maid, the head maid but a maid nonetheless. She was even born to be ‘just’ Nemesis’s groom and nothing else. She’s no red dragon, ex-holy Knight, heiress of the clan. The onoskelis were falling down, and even if she trains, what she can do? Melt and throw poison arrows which is kinda underwhelming. She was born with a single purpose, and failed.

It’s about her denial in seeing things as alright.
