this looks very promising! the character design is simple but I love that we have a dark skinned Duke and a villainess that isn't blonde with curly hair. hehe I hope we get some family bonding in future chapters. the brothers are cuuuuuteeee
I wonder if she's actually going to do any wicked deeds, though. I hope she will, but I hesitate to count on it, knowing how it usually goes in these series.
@Rozzak at least she continues to put in effort afterwards, though. I assume this will play out in a Bakarina-adjacent way, with her doing things that she thinks will be perceived as villainous but will only make people admire her more.
