thanks so much for the translation!!!
honestly, i love and understand why they're kind of doing this all behind ebony's back since it would only cause so much more anxiety for her. not to mention the fact that if she did find out the lengths they're going through to make sure that this case becomes a sure success, then she would probably try to stop them. fuckin absolutely heartbreaking how much bullshit ebony has to deal with, but at least she has others she knows she can rely and fall back on. it makes the whole thing easier.
also, i just fucking this whole household. sometimes a family is just a progressive woman respecting archduke, a tsun lawyer who gives respect to people with talent, a rowdy but caring cook that can probably deadlift a whole redwood forest, a rebellious and talented female doctor, a grandma who may or may not have magical powers, a grandpa who threatens death at the slightest provocation, and a sly and intelligent woman, and i just think that that's beautiful...
