When Lancelot’s 12 yo iirc, husband set Lancelot up as the heir of family and divorced Rachel, then he removed himself from family registry, resigned from his position as knight commander, and moved to other city with his mistress. He died while working, crushed by boulder or something. The mistress was pregnant and it was a daughter she named Mila. She never registered her marriage with Rachel’s ex-husband, only shoved the marriage paper somewhere at their house. She never married anyone and lived with her daughter.
After divorce, Kimberly proposed to Rachel and they married. Since Lancelot was the heir to duchy, father-in-law (or Lancelot I forgot) suggested that Kimberly took one of duchy collateral title(?), so he became a count, and Rachel became countess. They moved out from mansion and move to mansion next door lol. Kimberly and Rachel had one daughter, Mildred, and one son, Ashley.
The sad thing is he didn’t know that he regretted it. When he died, the man in robe took his soul to the white world (where Rachel met him and ask about Lancelot in 1st TL). He said that husband life was full of bad choices. According to him, husband had cracks in his heart (mtl), maybe something like broken soul(?), so that’s why he made those wrong choices and didn’t comprehend why those choices were wrong.
1st TL husband soul already cracked, thus 1st TL was disaster. 2nd TL the crack became smaller, he still broken so he again chose wrong and bad choices but this TL was significantly better than the previous one. Man in robe said that if he reincarnated with his cracked heart, he will live the same like previous TLs. That’s why he took husband soul to white world, to make him face and think why his choices, his attitudes, why one by one people left him. When his crack disappears and he’s ready mentally, he can choose to reincarnate and leave the white world.
In WN, it’s still mentioned why his heart cracked in the first place and who is the man in robe. Probably it was explained in LN version and hopefully manga will cover it better.
ANIME IN 2026!!!!
