Yeah, I don't know why they trust the result readily, but judging from the dialogue, it seems the emperor already suspected the consort to lie about the father and they may have discussed behind the scene to test it out.
Chapter 38: mc acts like she had some plan while meeting with the baron Oseh who claims to be her father. But when they met, she didn’t even brought her staff for protection and had to be saved by Petunia (just a way to show progression with her I guess, but felt forced).
Chapter 39-40: mc uses the lachets’ (hierophant and star) to learn about the details of paternity test. I understand that they skipped details about that but the description is way too simplified. Also, why exactly did they test it with the emperor? And what made them trust the result so easily when it’s newly created (especially since the kingdom/empire doesn’t really have a good relation with the edifice)?
