    Anybody got spoilers on ML?
    Interesting, an MC who actually knows how to USE her connections, didn't waste time trying to learn as much as she can while she still had her status as a duchess

    While were at it, anybody could spoil the antagonistic palace maid's end? Serena? When ex-husband starts regretting? I mean, there's no point in regretting if it was actually indifference from the start? What? Did he get cheated out by the 2 b*tch duo? A shame though since one comment implied he does have talents in authority stuff.
    also... ML pov?

    So I just read Calix is the ML and honestly I don’t know who to root for because so far I really like Einz he’s so adorable and thoughtful of the FL but we haven’t seen Calix and Erin moments yet so hope those come soon:cookie:

    Will the ex hubby marry white lotus mistress in the end? It’s only been 14 chapters so far and he’s already tired of her while she sees herself on the empress’s throne. I would assume she’ll switch to coveting Calix when he becomes an official successor.

    Guys!! Calix is absolutely the best!! He is always supporting Erin!!

    - He saved her life in one occasion that he had visited her on her store. He was waiting for her to return in the kitchen after she said she would be back, but she was taking her time, he found out after asking Molly that she had gone buy some ingredients. He noticed it was late and dark, so he went out to look for her. When she was coming back home, she was followed by a man with a knife and was attacked (she tried to defend herself with a knife, but the man wouldn't stop). Calix found her on time, saved her and escorted her back. The man was sent by Serena because she wanted to make her disappear thinking that by doing that, the emperor would give up and let her marry the duke.

    - On other occasion, she was asked by Serene to prepare a cake for a ball she was holding, inviting her to attend the ball at the same time. Serene was planning to humiliate her in front of everyone. She even begged the duke to be her partner at the ball for better effects. She is a disgusting white lotus. Anyway, Calix, who visited Erin's store practically everyday, found out and offered to accompany her as her partner. In exchange, he asked for a favor. That favor was for her to accompany him to the commercial plaza. They went to the best and most luxurious boutique to buy clothes. At first, she thought it would be for him, but when she saw there where only dresses, Erin thought he was asking her for advice to buy a present for a girl he liked, so she said that all the dresses looked fine and that he could choose any dress and it would be perfect. After hearing that, Calix proceeded to buy EVERY DRESS THAT WAS ON THE STORE ANDKANSKQ. She was surprised and told him the girl would be overwhelmed if he gave them that many dresses. And he said "What girl? It's for you." She was shocked and said she didn't even have enough room to storage that many dresses, but he said he would keep them with him, so she could pick the one she liked the most for the ball.

    - They went together to the ball in the Grand Duke's carriage (his tittle is Grand Duke, I don't remember if it was mentioned before), and everyone was surprised to see Erin, who was dressed up in a beautiful and colorful dress, who was wearing bolder make up and wearing a different hairstyle. Even more so, they were surprised to see her with Calix, her ex-husband's brother. They proudly came to the center of the ball where Serina and Raymond where and at first, he didn't recognize Erin, he just wondered who was the first girl his brother had taken to a ball. He later realized it was her and confronted her. They had a discussion and Calix and Erin came out victorious. Calix asked her for a dance (something that was seen to be done by lovers) and she accepted because, who cares, she's free now. They danced beautifully. Raymond was surprised while he looked at her now. Everyone else was shocked at the fact that she could dance so well. After the dance ended, Calix thanked Erin and kissed her hand ♡.

    - Some other things happened at the ball, where she confronted Serena's trap. And after they were returning from the ball, he said it was a tradition to go to a house and eat and talk after a ball. That's why he guided her to his house, where he had prepared dinner. The place was beautiful!! It was on a terrace near a lake or pond and there were candles everywhere giving it such a romantic atmosphere uwu ♡ Then he gave her a musical box with the song her mother used to sing her.

    Turns out, when they shared a cake that one time she baked at the palace, she hummed that song and told him about the music box that her father made to her mother, but that the music box was broken and sold. She looked so sad back then and he said he had never forgotten about that.

    There were many other moments, but seriously, he is such a sweetheart ♡

    Calix fell in love with Erin when he was 13 years old at the very moment she set foot into the palace, just when she was coming out of the carriage. It was love at first sight. He went to her and said "Thank you, sister in law." She laughed and ask "Why would you be grateful for?" And he thought that for coming here, for her very existence. After she got married, he followed her around everytime asking for her to play with him or to go on a walk, and she would always smile at him and listen to him, even though she was very busy managing the palace. He soon found out that no matter how hard she worked, she was always looked down at and always made fun of. He understood it was because of his brother and his lover, Serena. He blamed them for her suffering. He didn't want her to keep on living like that, so he wanted to help her. He found out that she couldn't say anything and endured everything silently because her family had a debt of 60 million, so he decided to save that much money and give it to her. This was when he was 16 I think. He started looking for ways to make money. He sold furniture that wasn't useful or things he didn't use anymore, he worked hard for the emperor everyday to earn a daily salary, but even though he worked so hard, he only managed so save 5 million. (Oh, He couldn't use the grand duchy's money until he was older. At the time, his grandfather, the emperor, was managing his properties for him). He went to tell her that he would pay off her debts for her birthday (she said that she would accept anything as a gift for her birthday because it was the respectful thing to do), but he saw her looking at Raymond walking past her palace. They hadn't been in a close space for so long, I think. She was watching him with sorrow and affection. (At the first stage of her marriage, she was in love with her husband. She was hopeful of a happy marriage, but that was soon shattered by his behaviour. Now she has long forgotten about those naive feelings, but they were true at the time.) When Calix saw her, he felt a pain in his heart, and he just left. He thought the only reason for her staying there and enduring everything was because of the debt, but it wasn't just that. He locked himself up in his room and was sad for some time. His grandfather noticed his feelings and told him to give up, because it was bad to covet someone's wife. He then left to war and started living in his territory, only coming back when necessary.

    At first, he thought of him as a child who didn't present a threat for him, but he found a letter from his father, the prince, to Calix's mother (the Grand Duchess). It was a love letter. It was before Calix's mother married Calix's father. Apparently, her parents didn't want them to be together because he didn't want the grand duchy to be absorbed by the imperial family. So they were against that marriage. Soon after, she married Calix's father and had Calix. He was a premature baby.

    Also, the grandfather, the emperor, loves and pampers Calix because he practically raised him from a very very young age.

    These are some spoilers. I hope you like them!

    Thanks for the spoilers, I wonder how Serena and Raymond end? Will Raymond regret it later? Then will Calix and Erin end up together?

    I haven't finished the story, but I unlocked the last two chapters.

    Raymond got exiled after he committed treason, if I'm not wrong. On the chapters I've been reading, he was acting suspiciously, meeting strange people in forbidden places and all. I'm not exactly sure what he did, though.

    Serena was betrayed by Raymond and was somehow poisoned. She joined forces with Erin to bring Raymond down and ended up living in a far away convent. On the last chapter, Erin goes to visit her and heals her body as an experiment (remember Erin has healing powers thanks to her mother's family). Serena is very thankful and regrets everything she has done to Erin.

    On earlier chapters I've been reading, she contacted a magician of sorts and bought a very strong poison. It's like water: it's transparent and has no flavor at all. She mentioned that she could have used it on Erin if she were still Raymond's wife, but now that she's divorced, she plans to use it on someone else, as it would be a waste on her. Then she ordered to kill that magician because she didn't want to leave any witnesses.

    I think she may have tried to poison the emperor (Raymond's and Calix's grandfather) because he is unwilling to accept Serena no matter how hard she tries to win his favor. He said he would never accept someone that has been a mistress as it would bring shame to the imperial family. He also favors Erin a lot and Serena hates that, thinking that she is better than Erin.

    I also wonder if the poison she bought was the one used on her later on.

    He's alive and well. He retires early on and leaves the throne to Calix and wonders what to do next. Erin suggested for him to travel the world as it is something he could never do when he was in power and he thinks it may be a good idea.

    In the last chapters, she is seen preparing to open her store for the second time, so I think something bad might have happened to her bakery. She is helped by two little sisters that now work for her (they used to work in a fruit store and they once went to Erin's bakery to buy a birthday cake for one of them. Erin prepared them a special cake with little cats as decoration and they paid all they had (way less than the actual value, but Erin didn't let them now about that because they were happy to use their savings that way). They are hardworking fellows, so I'm happy they can work in a better environment because I believe they were been exploited in the fruit store, having to carry very heavy things and all). There's also one more little person working for her, but I'm not sure who that person is.

    Erin mentioned something happening to Calix on the black forest. I think he was severely wounded and almost died, but she managed to save him.
    (The black forest has a special connection to Erin and her family. She keeps having visions of the black forest whenever she touches its leaves. The first time she cured someone (Einz), she saw a vision of the black forest when she touched his wound. Then she prepared him a beverage and added some black forest leaves and gave it to him. A white light appeared and Einz was compeltely healed, leaving a strange pattern on his shoulder. From then on, she can see when a person is sick from poisoning (she sees colors on the affected area with different intensities), she also can see how that poisoning gets gradually better when people eat her pastries.)

    Calix then arrives and proposes to her. Erin originally didn't want to marry him, because that would mean she has to leave her bakery and be empress and she has worked so hard to just leave her dream like that. Calix convinced her saying that they could get married in secret. They didn't have to tell the world right away, she could still work on her bakery and in the future, they could make it public. At the moment, he just wanted for her to be his wife because he loved her so much, he didn't want to wait any longer. He even prepared a flower with marzipan for her. It was cute.

    The wedding was not mentioned. They didn't say if they had children or anything. They just ended the story with the proposal.

    I hope this solves some questions!

    (And I'm sorry if I have some writing errors as English is not my first language. I will try to fix them as I see them, though! )

    Thanks for giving these lovely spoilers!! Damn Calix is cute!! I support this relationship. Erm, question. I forgot but what is the age gap between Erin and Calix?

    Aww, how cute! I'm glad Calix let her still run the bakery. It's cute how he just wants to get married to her so he was like no need to announce it. Also, I kind of like that Serena joined forces. In the end, it's Raymond's fault for hurting both of them. I'm glad she realised it was stupid of her to go after Erin. Like, Erin is not the issue. Raymond betrayed her so he deserves the punishment.

    Her ex-husband is the Emperor's grandson. I forgot about the story of the ML - it's a bit confusing.

    Clarification on titles/ roles:

    Raymond: "Duke of Levenburg". Raymond is the only legitimate grandson of the Emperor. Son of the former Crown Prince, who is dead. Raymond is the Duke of Levenburg due to his position as the late Crown Prince's son, (the story says all grandchildren of an emperor are automatically titled "Duke", and Raymond does have some territories and properties which came attached to that title) Raymond is the assumed heir to the Imperial Throne, and expected to become the next Emperor. His grandpa, the Emperor, has made Raymond's marriage to Erin an unofficial prerequisite to his inheritance, and has not declared Raymond the official heir, or named him the new Crown Prince, though every assumes it's a done deal, for want of other candidates.

    Calix: "Grand Duke Royton". Adopted grandson of the Emperor, adopted son of the late Crown Prince, younger adopted brother of Raymond. The Royton line split from the imperial line many, many generations ago, so he and Raymond are not considered blood relations. Calix was adopted by the late Crown Prince after the death of his father, the Grand Duke Royton, and become Grand Duke himself after his mother, Grand Duchess Thera Royton, died and he came of age.

    Calix is Grand Duke in his own right through his mother, Thera. In this world, women cannot inherit, so Thera, the only, female, child of the previous Grand Duke, was honorary Grand Duchess, and her husband the honorary Grand Duke, until their son, Calix, could inherit.

    Being a Grand Duke, Calix technically outranks Raymond, who is only a Duke, unless and until Raymond is finally named Crown Prince. Calix also has a higher degree of independence and practical power to use it, since he has his own territories to control and govern, while Raymond is more closely tied to and dependant on the Imperial family for his position.

    Calix is actually the illegitimate offspring of the former Crown Prince, making him Raymond's younger, half brother, and a true grandson of the Emperor. Raymond found documentary proof from his father that Calix's mother had an affair with the late Crown Prince, and that the Crown Prince arranged for her to be married to cover up the birth of their son, Calix. While his claim is weaker than Raymond's, being illegitimate and younger, Calix is a member of the imperial bloodline.

    The Crown Prince was actually a widow and Thera unattached when they began their affair, but Thera could not marry the Crown Prince, since that would lead to the Grand Duchy of Royton being absorbed into the Imperial Family and lost.

    Serena: adopted daughter of the Count Blennon family (Eta I just remembered the horrible head of the Imperial maids is a Mrs. Blennon. Suddenly, it makes so much more sense that she was horrible to Erin: she's probably from a branch family, and the Blennons are depending on Serena to become Empress and carry them to success)

    Serena is from a long line of extremely wealthy, commoner, merchants. Her commoner grandfather married Serena's mother to a Jr. Knight, enabling them to enter the lowest levels of the minor aristocracy. (Erin's childhood friend, Einz, and even Erin's pre-inheritance father would technically be of higher status than Serena, since both are full Knights, though Serena's family is filthy rich, with the associated connections and influence.)

    Due to their long term affair, Raymond arranged for Serena to be adopted by the Count Blennon household, in order to raise her status. The Blennon family are known opposers of the current Emperor, and favor and flatter Raymond as the next in line, in the hopes of returns once Raymond becomes Emperor.

    One-generation-from-commoner Serena lacks sufficient rank to be the next Empress, which is what she would be upon marrying heir-apparent Raymond. This, (and the Emperor's distinct, personal dislike of Serena,) lead to the current Emperor's protest against the marriage and his order for Raymond to marry Erin instead. Without her adoption, it's possible Serena's marriage with Raymond would be considered morganatic (meaning, she would be given a title for show, not the true Empress role, and her children would not have any rights of inheritance) but, morganatic marriage has not been mentioned in the story by name.

    Erin: Daughter of the Marquis of Brecia, formerly Duchess of Levenburg through marriage. "Marquis" is a very high rank, being one step below Duke, and generally the highest one can be without being an imperial off-shoot.

    While married, aside from being a Duchess, Erin was treated as the Crown Princess, Future Empress-to-be, and even the Acting Empress in certain matters. She lived in the Imperial Crown Princess's palace, separate from her husband, during her marriage, and was granted the Empress Seal by the Emperor to take care of certain tasks. During her teen years, she received training and education in line with becoming the next Empress.

    After divorce, Erin is still considered a Lady and member of the high aristocracy, and she would be very appealing marriage prospect to a family with a lot of money, but a low title, or no title, since they would gain an (honorary) Marquis title as her husband and their children would inherit the full position.

    Women cannot inherit, so Erin cannot become the next Marquis of Brecia herself. Presumably, her son, if she had one, would inherit the title Marquis of Brecia. If we go by real-world rules, it would likely require permission from a ruler to allow Erin to hold the title as a placeholder and ensure her child would inherit, to prevent a distant relative from stepping in to claim it, but I doubt that would be an issue since the Emperor is fond of her.

    Erin grew up with a title, but acting like a commoner, due to the extreme financial straights of the deeply in-debt estate, and due to the background of her parents, who never expected to inherit. While Erin's foreign, commoner mother could be an issue, similar to Serena's status problems, the Emperor genuinely likes Erin (more than he likes Raymond,) and thinks she would make an excellent Empress. Because of this, the Emperor overlooks her commoner ties, though the other aristocrats mock Erin for it.

    (If you think about it, Erin and Serena are complete opposites: Serena is basically a commoner, but was raised like a princess due to her family's money, while Erin has one of the highest ranks and most prestigious bloodlines, but grew up impoverished, doing chores.)

    The Brecia line: Erin's great-great-grandfather, (chapter 1 calls him both great great grandfather, and just "grandfather") whom we'll call Grandpa Brecia, was the current Emperor's beloved advisor forever ago.

    When Grandpa Brecia died young, his brother, whom we'll call Great Uncle Brecia, took over and sucked. Great Uncle Brecia's son, Cousin Brecia, then took over, and likewise sucked.

    Daddy Brecia (Erin's father) was the second son in his lower, branch family and had been expelled from that family for reasons unexplained. This is why he became a knight, married a commoner woman, and worked for a living. Daddy Brecia never expected to inherit anything from his own branch family, let alone the main line, but was left holding the bag after his cousin, Cousin Brecia, died and there were no other, closer, male heirs to take the title.

    It is unexplained why Grandpa Brecia's brother took over the title when Grandpa Brecia had children of his own (can't be a grandpa without kids). It's possible he had all girls, or the uncle was a scumbag and stole the title from a too-young heir. It is also not explained how many children Grandpa Brecia had, or the direct path between Grandpa Brecia and Daddy Brecia.
