So I just reread, and basically the big issue is that 3rd princess Betty is hoarding mana stones to ultimately raise their price and then profit later. Eve has brought up info from her previous life to contradict Betty’s plan of forcing homunculi to mine their main mine harder, and was granted imperial permission to execute the plan. Chapter 59 being a later chapter definitely is important and I hope someone can fix it, but eve’s plan is based on her knowledge that the tail of the dragon whose corpse formed the main mine was separated in its subjugation, so she is likely visiting the main mine to secretly improve the lowest homunculis lives, while having the count and green hair person look for the where the tail area is.
Also, side note, eve knows form her teacher who retained memories too that Michael loved her in the previous life, and Michael was only given the hint that if he wants his memories, he has to awaken as the king. He wants to get his memories because he misunderstands that someone performed the regression ceremony and could have their memories and stand in eve”s way to the throne.
