Okay as spoiler.......
I know many doesn't like Ryucheong as ML or whom the FL end for and rooting for the servant. But I like this novel because it's not one track mind. Ryucheong even before the FL regressed already give such importance to FL, let's say it's because of his father but still he's one of few who treat FL right in her first life. And this life we'll see his character development. Like who is perfect since a kid? He's just a kid and many readers already judge him and compare the 2 males. Like they'll grow more you know?
You get it !!! Like honestly I love how they act like kids! They act on their feelings w no care about the other person until it's too late... And they learn from their mistakes!
But if the past is anything to go by, at least we know Ryucheong will eventually grow into a being a good person—even without the FL's help/interference. He's just being a kid right now!
I wouldn't mind Yayul being the ML or tropes where the killer of the mc becomes the ML.... But I feel like some people judge Ryucheong too harshly when all he did is just be an arrogant little kid lol

Duke Winterwald arranged Jonas' death, when the latter started getting too ambitious, wanting to claim the throne (he's so far in line, side eye to you Jonas) and planning to have Sophie killed. Subverted since Jonas wasn't Duke Winterwald biological son.

I didn't read the novel, but isn't the most probable scenario is the child of Judith and Ruedger will the next heir of Winterward.
And considering Luca will retain Maibaum from mother side, he can instead inherit all the titles/lands left by Margarett, the former king's sister, as he said he'll transfer those to Judith, but Judith will marry to Winterward family.
Like he deserves it, and I can't pity him because of what he have done.
But like, if you can k!ll this innocent people so easily why didn't you target your dad, and have it at peace?!
It's not a pity I feel about him but regrets, he's not as great as ML but he did tried his best, and his decision got so twisted. I can't wish for him to redo life as ML, as he already done so many things of no return.
Maybe we just live on his potential greatest "What ifs" What if he makes other decision? What if he takes another path of revenge... the future where their still friends. TT,TT
