Thanks for the chapter!

Question: are we supposed to know that husband-wife duo at the end?
They are the ones that helped organise the kidnapping.
"That side" is likely an enemy faction, either a foreign nation and/or people that want to overthrow the current royal family.
The couple are collaborators/traitors that want to heighten their own position by tearing down the established families.

I don't think we've seen the husband, but we've seen the lady before as she's the head of one of the 4 lords family, the Remington, on the same level as the Orlbans. Both the current maid and the previous maid that were assigned to Lia used to work for her family. She is also behind Lia's kidnapping and supported the bad dude who got bonked in the shin with Lia's plushie. We're not quite sure what her motive is, but it seems that she is trying to ensure the royal family doesn't become close to the Orlbans since right now Nico and Lia are very close in age and it would make sense for them to get engaged, though there are no talks of it at the moment.

Anyway, as expected, you can give the prince a small stone and absolutely nothing will happen because he has so much magic. And Lia is cute as usual.

I wonder how the debut party will go. Gill's father was quite creeped out by her lack of reaction to Lia's return, and I imagine that Lia will sense that she's quite cold. It might also become the opportunity for another incident.

She's got issues for sure...

Spoiler for a few chapters ahead.
She was a great person, excellent in studies, have large amount of mana, etc. Everyone thought she's perfect to inherit the title.

But her father didn't want her to be burden with the duty of the 4 lords, and try to have multiple men from branch families be 'shared lord' to supply the mana, while she'd marry one of them, have a child to have said child (if it's male) to inherit the title instead.
Obviously, such attempt wasn't well received.

Some of the ambitious nobles even suggest 'maybe WE could supply the mana instead of the 4 lords if that's allowed'
So they let them try.
The lesser nobles could barely make a magic stone glow even with their combined magic power.
The chosen men by her father together could barely fill one.
Then she just immediately fill another empty magic stone nearby, alone, effortlessly.

Which turn the table on her father, now with everyone pushing she should succeed the title.
The father try one last attempt with asking her directly what she'd want, thinking she'd be an obedient daughter and answer with 'I'll follow my father's wish"
Nope, she chose to take on the duty AND the title.

But even after that, many still show hostility/jealousy towards her.
So the spiral began with her father's 'betrayal', then followed by the constant attempts to harass her from other jealous nobles/officers.
She's had enough, she'll make these fools regret it.

Which have some irony that she fails to notice the people who DO recognize her value.
And that she ends up being the sort of parent who doesn't 'look' at their children, just like her father.

Btw, the husband seem to be on the 'I wish you didn't choose this path, but I'll ride with you to the end wherever it goes'
