For people who didn’t understand the butler part,the butler is a part of Arvin’s family (Iora’s former fiancee) they are a vassal to the Ernst household,so their most talented son goes on to become their steward by shedibg their name and the only reason he helped with Welmy’s plan and also let Arvin change fiancee’s is because the count was incompetent and they thought Iora would do better as an empress rather than being the ernst countess (cause that raises the ernst bloodline ig) and now they have stopped the practice of making their most talented sons stewards and are now strengthening theur family to be of help to Iora (since she is still a true Ernst and they are loyal).
