Holy shit those girls are dumb. Messing with your target's drink right in front of them, it's like they want to be caught.

To be fair, they never expected Monica to drink the tea despite the bitterness, because most people in their world would have spit it out or choked, which was their initial intention all along (to make an embarrassment out of her). Caroline never thought that a common girl like Monica would have a lot of other people on her back (and I don’t think Monica herself realizes it).

Nah, that doesn't fly. Their motivations were petty and malicious. So while they may not have meant to kill her, they still goaded her into drinking a cup of poisoned tea.

And for what? Because they wanted Monica to lie to a higher ranking noble that embarrassed them? Embarrassed them because the lead b!tch shoved someone down a flight of stairs, while in an argument, that she started, and then tried to lie her way out of?

No she didn't mean to shove Monica down a flight of stairs anymore than she meant to kill her, but these weren't blameless accidents. They were in the middle of a crowded stairwell (at least 5 people on that small landing) when she got physical, she put poison in someone's drink then goaded her to drink it after that someone refused to lie on her behalf. She kept lying or trying to pull rank to avoid the consequences of her own pettiness showing a gross disregard for others.

And all for what? Again and again, she hurt others to protect her own pride that has only been damaged by her own actions.

There is nothing "fair' about it.
