I find it interesting that even with the regression, this isn’t an easy win for her. In stories like these, the setbacks that the lead suffer through aren’t that big a deal because as a regressor, they simply have a huge advantage regardless. But in this, you can feel how powerless she was in the past so that even her regressed self has to claw her way to the top. I kind of like that.
I wish she’d stop pushing the ML to hide or something. He’s a whole Duke. If he wants to be useful, use him. And yes, I say this knowing full well that she doesn’t want to use him because she feels guilty about the role she played in the decimation of his family. But both him and his mother told her to let it go. It’s because she’s busy trying to protect him while also plotting to kill her own family that she’s in shambles right now. I’m glad the Duke seems to have ploys of his own, at least.
