I’m back! I have an alternative theory and I like this one slightly better because it would mean Nott isn’t as fucked up, what with the whole ‘actually posing as a child’s death mother’ thing.
So, alternative theory:
1) Nott is a goblin.
2) She and Yeza met when he was captured by her clan.
3) She freed him, they ran away together.
4) Nott lived at Yeza’s place.
5) Yeza already had a son, but his biological mother already died.
6) Through his alchemy, Yeza was able to create potions that allowed Nott to become Beth/Veth. This is probably at Nott’s request.
7) Beth is not in any way related to Luke’s actual mom, but is a new person who slowly became Luke’s adopted mother.
8) Nott became more and more disillusioned with having to pretend to be someone without actually being them. She hates being a goblin.
9) Yeza probably doesn’t even see the issue and just wishes she could just be herself.
10) Nott and Yeza have a huge falling out over this. She leaves because she feels it’s more important to figure out her goblin situation than it is to stay and care for Luke.
11) Yeza is angry at her for abandoning her family. He’s not sure if she’ll ever succeed with her quest. He thinks she’s not coming back. Lots of complicated emotions.
12) He decides to tell Luke that Beth was killed by goblins (and to him, technically, she was). He lies about the packages because it’s too complicated.
13) Nott only wants to come back as Beth. But recent events have forced her hand.
14) Nott is incredibly ashamed of abandoning her family, and lies about it to the group.
After they had cut off his head, They cut off all his limbs. They so disfigured the body That neither foot nor finger was left.
