His father hated the emperor bc of what he found about those mages. Duke married mains mom to protect her as he scribbled her name off the mage list to avoid detection. What scared duke was what his father told him who to protect and that same name was said by duke's wife Ch 110 got more info from sensing where princess is when she told main she has to behave a way to get evil dragon to lessen his guard. Evil dragon told his story and wants to be unsealed. The goddess magic that seals him is the same as mains mom and also now mains Ch 102 so duke had a pendent passed from his father that was handed down their family from a god. It can save a life but it will cost a hefty price. He used it to ressurect main in replacement of his Ch 101 main forgives her father bc the truth was it was the emperor's men who killed mains mom when duke had temp broke the control spell and couldn't kill her mom. And then duke revealed that this is his 2nd life Ch 98 day of her coming of age, max proposed to her and she said yes, but then her release of the memory seal made her fall into unconsciousness. Flashbacks Ch 95 recap, duke and max will try to figure out why the evil dragon wanted to destroy the empire. Why was mains mom involved. And when the princess awakened as a mage, why evil dragon willing to teach her magic instead of taking it like other mages? Emperor offers princess right to the throne if she learns. She's skeptic how her father knew she awakened with magic Ch 89 at the hunting fair, main found out her father is controlled by the emperor and the mage in hiding is a friend of mains mother and he told her that her memories will come back when she turns of age. Then she will remember has has happened in the past childhood Ch 82 Max's ppl restored the letters and the mages journal says that the cursed ring binds the lives of the contracter, emperor, and the subject target, duke. So if the contractor dies, so does the subject. Max needs to change his plans. He wanted to kill his father, but now it isn't possible as duke is very important to main. Max focuses his men to find a way to break the curse ring Ch 80 Max's spies had info that duke did meet with the emperor in the shadow dungeons but didn't know why. Until max got an anonymous letter from duke's friend who was a hidden magician who managed to escape and has to hide now that the emperor knew mages still exist. The letter was evidence of a journel kept by a mage who was imprisoned by the emperor and siphoned mana into a ring that contains an evil dragon that gives u control over someone. But the ring can only activate with mana, that's why the emperor made a law to have only magic be used by the imperial family and kidnapped any mages. Max asked duke is that why duke has not caused treason against the emperor and duke cannot say due to the curse. All he can say is that max needs to be stronger Ch 76 now main is suspicious why her father is acting cold just like in the past. She finally knew her father loves her but seeing his sudden cold expression means there is something going on and he couldn't tell her in the past Ch 74 main found out of Max's identity when he appeared after she blew her whistle that only her father and max know. She was at first felt lied to, but max explained he hid his identity bc she was scared of the crown prince. He didn't want to scare her when she finds out his identity Ch 59 seems like mains father duke has past memories of losing his daughter and he killed the emperor as there is no reason to live. He will protect his daughter and the emperor noticed how duke is more assertive no matter the knowledge of the curse and he doesn't like how duke is having his independence when he should be loyal thanks to the curse ring. Apparently it was the duke who turned back time. Idk how, but he turned back time and the evil dragon in the ring knows this and tried to manipulate duke that he cant save main again so just be a crazy murderer, but duke held off now he is motivated to save his daughter this 2nd time Ch 56 a ball set up for crown prince return from war Ch 54 capital is let known that crown prince finished the battlefield with victory after 2 months and is back and there will be a banquet to celebrate Ch 53 wait what?? Did the duke see the other future main lived and she died?? That he promised to not have that future again?? Ch 49 mm near the end, all those bad rumors that max was a demon was bc of the step mother who planted evidence to show how not a good candidate to be crown prince. That's why so many bad rumors of the prince. He did win many battles so ppl can't say much since he did it for the kingdom. But they weren't sure how he is personality and image wise Ch 48 dang, duke is leashed by some curse set by the emperor so he had no choice but to listen to his demands. Back then 13 yrs ago, duke was tired and wanted to end it all bc of the deeds he's done but his daughter wished him safety and wellbeing and essentially it saved him as he is fighting to survive for main and protecting main Ch 46 max purposefully revealed he is at the capital as his black armor attire and he knows the emperor fears him since max is well versed in battle and experience. It indirectly helped the duke bc duke was about to be sent to the south and away from main but bc the emperor was scared of max, emperor assigned duke as a guard to keep the crown prince in check. But duke still doesn't think max is qualified to be with his daughter Ch 44 awwww max realized he loves main and he wants to improve himself to be with her. She was still iffy about the rumored crown prince and max will work hard to fix his image so main doesnt feel scared bc of the rumors. Duke was baffled that his student can actually love bc max doesnt like having a weakness so he always act tough Ch 42 mains ex got aggressive to mains lover and main stood up against her ex and declared she doesnt love him anymore. He was adamant to make her love him again and he vented his anger on his current gf and she realized what main said about how she was taken advantage of and now she knows what main meant and it was true that the guy they loved was not a nice man and takes advantage of ur love Ch 39 mains ex tried to make her jealous and thinks he's doing a good job at it. But main stared at him and another girl is bc she knows how much of a jerk he is with his fake flowery words and hes using the same tactic with the other girl. She was thinking how this new girl reminds her of herself in past life and hopes new girl doesn't become a villainess bc at the end, the ex did marry someone else if princess status Ch 37-38 ooooh main's pissed. Max was so used to getting his way and his manner of ripping things up bc he dislikes it was a bad habit as he did that to the contract and main felt he isn't cooperative and he wants a contract bc that means the rules of them following each others opinions since her past life she struggled to be heard and was told he was a hassel to deal with. With no contract and cooperation, she would cancel this relationship. Max realized what he did made her upset and her reasoning, he felt he needs to improve his attitude and agreed to her contract and signed it. Meanwhile next day they go to the tea party and mains ex was there bc he heard she would be there Ch 35 ohhhhhh duke knew what kind of person max is. Max is an actual tyrant and takes care of business with fighting and torture when he was trained under duke. Duke tried to fix his attitude and personality but it was dark and tyrant-like. So duke denied their relationship when main tried to use max as a "lover" to deter her arranged marriage with crown prince (but max is crown prince lolol) Ch 33 GAHH max the knight is too cute and adorable when he's complimented and blushes when main is cute and nice to him. But he was not used to a contract relationship and actually does want to improve himself and not as a tyrant so he can be with main as main did educate him of being careful around nobles since there r some unsavory ppl who would belittle u if u act belligerent Ch 30 hmm, idk why duke changed his mind on the marriage candidate. I think his student the crown prince is also a tyrant personality and cold, he likes how his daughter worries about him and now he's focused on her own happiness and he worries if main marries crown prince, she will be in a bad relationship. Crown prince is actually living as a commoner knight to hide himself bc the current empress is his step mom who was responsible to killing his mom. Step mom wants to find him and kill him Ch 29 PFFFF main told the knight that she saw who was a potential candidate form her dad's list and it was the tyrant crown prince. Knight was shocked and was flattered bc he is the crown prince. But main only heard rumors of the crown prince as a sadist tyrant and would run away and even ask knight for a contract date to avoid the arranged marriage. He felt wronged and annoyed bc he likes her but of course he cant tell her his real identity and he felt gloomy how she viewed the crown prince. Also he felt that contract relationship felt so fake and he really wants to be romantic with her for real Ch 23 recap main saw marriage candidate list and main tries to avoid the topic of the crown prince circled on that list. So for a party she was invited, she asked several other candidates but the duke heard she needed a partner for a party but checked each one and they were unsuitable for her. Main bought cufflinks before for her father as an apology for taking his pendant but rumors spread that the cufflinks were for her secret lover. Crown prince (identity not revealed yet) was jealous of main's partner for the cufflinks but he heard her side and it was a misunderstanding. Also he couldn't believe that main thought her dad disliked her when he always see the duke's face full of fondness whenever he boasts about his daughter often. He hopes the duke and main can resolve the misunderstanding. While main is still uncomfortable with duke bc of his lack of emotions and the past experience made her think he thought of her as inconvenient and a drag Ch 6 duke actually cares for his daughter but main's memories of the villainess was she didnt feel loved and was betrayed at the end. Duke was just bad in showing caring emotions. The crown prince was taught by the duke how to fight but hates showing weakness so he is strict like the duke but harsher. Main is a modern girl woke up from a book she read of a villainess

. On ch 84 Ch 73 duke knew main was acting weird when she tried to pair him with lysia and he assured main that she is his one and only wife Ch 72 kyaaa duke confesses to main he loves her and wants the contract to not exist as he has fell for her. He knows the contract was a way to protect her but now he loves her deeply. Main felt she stole that from lysia, but it's too late since duke loves her. She did hold duke back to let red escape bc she can't allow to have red die bc of her twice Ch 69 dang duke was pissed and since jealous girl just committed treason, he ordered her family to execute her and they will be suspected pending good behavior to come back into the duchy after working elsewhere. Meanwhile red had found out main did things differently so he knew she had memories of the past too. He hoped to gained her marriage bc I think he liked her back then, but he was too late when main married duke Ch 67 ohhhh even tho it was abrupt and uncalled for, main recognized the kidnappers who was helped by the jealous girl. The red haired man was someone main allied in past life and he was a prince of a small island and they r known for their fishing and fast ships. But bc in past life main benefited her brother to become emperor, she had betrayed red and had him executed. Red told her he gained his memories in this life about 4 months ago and saw how the future changed and since main was the root cause of his death in past life, he isn't sure whether to kill her or save her Ch 61 lysia the duchess-to-empress and saintess from past life that main had befriended and was sad that she died, she wants to protect her and make sure she becomes empress in this life with duke. But bc she has feelings for duke, she feels sick that her love grew more than mutual benefit marriage will potentially break off soon. But unknowingly, lysia saw how happy duke was and all she cares for is duke's happiness. She isn't in love with duke, only as a friend and she likes how main and duke's relationship looks very well meshed Ch 55 main made plans even before she left, she knew her mother would be anxious and would want to know information and prophecy of her success so main had a trusted hired man to act like a sorcerer capable to tell even the most secrets that were just info main knew from her past life. Then at the north she is trying to fix their financial situation and market Ch 51 main has an idea to allow a third party to "discover" new crops so the north duchy can start a farming process within their lands and if the temple blesses them, then they will have the excuse to use that crop instead of it previously named as the enemy country's karam crop. But for the idea to work, they need to hide the experimental farming so it goes smoothly as if the crop just suddenly appeared and won't be targeted for colluding with karam Ch 49 as duke showed main around and even things he hid from the emperor bc what he's doing would appear to be colluding with the enemy, but it's been hundreds of yrs since his ppl interacted with the neighboring country more so than the imperial empire. He appreciates mains wisdom from her perspective but hopes that once he becomes emperor that he can leave the duchy in good stable hands where the ppl won't starve or risk being attacked due to strife with the neighboring country Ch 42 they arrived to the north dukedom and everyone is welcoming except a girl who had a crush on duke and is jealous of main Ch 34-38 the wedding went well, some tension as usual from the emperor and empress. The empress and main made a deal and empress made main her lady-in-waiting. Meanwhile main's mom is still a b*tch and she was angry she wasn't the one to walk her daughter bc of her pride. Her son stopped her bc he thinks main is doing this to gain favor for him to become the next emperor so he tries to reassure his mom Ch 32-33 main is trying to ally with the queen who is distraught with no heir bc of reasons that she harbors not liking the concubine that has the king's attention. Main sent a silent message in a gift that she will partner with queen to get her previous lineage back or something that was lost from queen. In turn main will make the king suffer miserably and lose everything. She wants queen support in the future Main used a spell in her future to turn back time to help the duke. She ended up being the one to go back time. She will change how she plans and prevent her death. It was sometime ch 10ish is when the duke had a dream of a woman all dirty and weak and he recognize her as the lady of a noble family and she is asking for help. He's curious about the dream but believes she knows more than she let's on. She got plans for them and him to take the throne instead for the commoner ppl bc the future with her brother as emperor led to wars and poverty
