I can see different versions of the story — maybe one like Aesops Fables that serves most as a tale to ward against following the wrong person/people, one that sympathises with them both and sees it as a tale of tragedy and inevitability and mortal folly (like Eden's apple, yk), others that see it very much in black and white with Liege as the surrogate for 'evil'...
The Functionist government using cultural history and religion to control the masses by twisting stories to fit their message is chilling, but I can easily see it as you describe. I'd love to see this explored more omg.
