IS THIS SPOILER?Don't forget; while the Duchess is the current head of the family, her younger brother will take her place as soon as he comes of age so she doesn't even have the full support of her own forces.
She's going to be playing all sides while she secures her position.
Honestly, I want to see her become a foil for the protagonist pair, and eventually they take up her cause and status if she ends up dead. I hope she isnt a full on traitor and has a personal reason similar to what you described as her main reason.Don't forget; while the Duchess is the current head of the family, her younger brother will take her place as soon as he comes of age so she doesn't even have the full support of her own forces.

The Brother thing is from an early chapter. She hinted she even considers poisoning him if their don't play along.IS THIS SPOILER?
