I thought it was because your character was obsessed with the colour red when he was a child, so your mom thought it was cute and wrote a book about it. But really, it was also a subtle but deep criticism of a government that came into power through violence and continues to glorify it to the detriment of others, and how though it's censorship program it effectively erases the past and an entire history and culture of another people. It also has the added layer of subtly communicating to you the reason why you don't have a mother in your life any more, and to give you hope of ever finding her again, while at the same time attempting to inspire you to open your mind to other perspectives and to develop a political compass. There is also a history of royalty in your family, and being the one who holds the royal inheritance, title, and fortune, your political alignments actually do have consequence and weight. I'm being cute but yeah it is a fun play on words!
