That Duke irritates me! Break off the engagement if he can’t help but accompany other woman. It still counts as cheating and Ayne becomes the subject of public ridicule.
ROOTING FOR THE HOT ASSASSIN GUY ALL THE WAY

I can understand why he did tho. The Emperor is a bully and pressures others to get what he wants, so he is forcing them together by steadily calling the Duke to the palace and forcing him to accompany his daughter. Maria, on the other hand, is relatively innocent in all this and the Duke has no reason to dislike her. I feel kinda bad for sir it all sounds burdensome.(● ̄(エ) ̄●)

Gaspal is a lost cause, indeed. I can’t give any sympathy for Tristan. That’s what he gets for stealing his cousin’s lover and viciously plotting against her. Karma bites hard. Gaspal and Tristan can go rot in jail or whatever

Gladly.

So Gaspal and Tristan will try to frame Ivona as a withc and bad person saying that she is just harming others with her potion, and they even get support from the corrupt temple who as we saw do not like Ivona curing others with herbs. But as allways, they fail, and the temple ( and/or Tristan)forces Gaspal into doing the same ritual Ivona did, but Gaspal fails, and well if I remember right he dies in the process. I do not have information about Tristan but he either dissapeared or forced to do the same with the same ending. (=・ω・=)
