I usually binge read every few weeks so I had to reread some stuff to refresh my memory, but here goes Summary Pt 4:

Recap:
In the novel, a Duke (Ferze Ekcart, white-haired) was the FL's fiance until she got kidnapped by the Visiennas (the black-haired family and also the main villains) and realized that her fiance doesn't give a crap about her. So she switched sides to the ML of the story, who is the Crown Prince, and assassinated Ferze through poison. The poison has different effects depending on who drinks it, and in Ferze's case, he dies instantly.
Our MC (Ciel, bluehaired) decides to stop Ferze from drinking the poison by drinking it herself since any of the bad side effects has a low chance of happening to her. But she gets the 0.01% of getting the side effect of turning into a child.

So Ferze, since Ciel saved his life, decides to repay her by:
- after getting turned back into a 17 yo, she will become his new fiancee and she can divorce him at anytime and leave with all the money she wants
- this is so he can avoid any unwanted potential brides the royal family is going to send him now that he broke it off with the FL
- but the only way she can turn back is to break the side effect, which is more like a curse, and only the Visiennas can break curses
- so Ferze conducts this secret deal with the Visiennas where he sends Ciel to live with the Visiennas for a few years under the pretense as their adoptive sister while the family breaks the curse and also teaches her how to become a proper fiancee to Duke Ferze.

There are 3 members of the Visienna family:
The Head and Father - Eustia Visienna, an immortal 100+ yo who recently got his family into the nobility (Blue-eyed)
The Eldest Son - Sharkis Visienna, (a not-immortal? but) generally considered the heir by those around him although everyone knows Eustia is immortal
The Second Son - Shrei Visienna, called by his older brother to be like "a wild dog" (blond but we still haven't officially met him yet)

Actual Summary Part:
- So although Ciel techincally failed on the final test of defeating a monster on her own, she's cute so the Visiennas accept her anyways. (Also Duke Ferze for some reason is still here although they're at the Visienna Estate and as an actual Duke, Ferze has his own dukedom to take of???)
- So we meet Baron Ruge, who is now one of Ciel's teachers. He comes from a family who used to live on the Eustia Estate* from the previous Emperor's reign but got stripped of their land because they were accused of being traitors. The Baron Ruge here is a survivor of that family.
- I'm assuming that Ruge is supposed to be Ciel's Politics teacher because he starts asking her about hypothetical situations related to it. This leads Ciel to recall the fall of the Visiennas in the novel.
- The royal family and the Church, although long-time enemies, decided to work together for once to take down the Visiennas. They go to war with the Visiennas and the Visiennas lose.
- And it's talked about in so earlier chapters, but there is one way to kill Eustia, and that's what ends up happening. The Visienna sons are killed by the Crown Prince and they use basically the holy grail to kill Eustia.
- And so politics class finishes, some shelling cookie sharing fiasco happens at the dining table, and then Eustia brings Ciel to the capitol to finalize the adoption. Also we meet Tweety, Eustia's wyvern who can flies days faster than a carriage, or in other words, a living airplane. But Ciel is a little scared of Tweety.
- At the capitol (with the same exact stupid looking weird arched castle from 10 other manhwas), the guy who was originally doing Ciel's adoption papers got kidnapped. But don't worry, Eustia threatens the guy at the adoption office's main desk into finishing the papers in 10 minutes, so Ciel and Eustia leave happily.
- Ciel gets more shelling cookies and threatens that she's gonna cook Tweety so now she's no longer scared of Tweety.
- At home, Ciel decides to go to bed to secretly eat shelling cookies, but then Ferze reminds the readers that he's STILL HERE (YOU HAVE A JOB AND YOUR OWN ESTATE TO MANAGE, GO HOME)
- Thankfully the royal family decides they need Ferze to go fight some rebels, SO HE'S FINALLY LEAVING AND DOING HIS (sorta) JOB
- Now that Ferze is leaving, he gives Ciel a ring which is apparently a heirloom in his family (and honestly this would be romantic if not for the fact that our MC is currently 7 and Ferze may have lowkey been stalking her the entire him he was at the Visienna Estate)

*Okay so you know how the Visiennas just recently got a noble title and joined the empire? Well they had land before, so I'm guessing that Baron Ruge's family lived on Eustia' land since they were the caretakers of Eustia Estate. BUT the Visienna WEREN'T a part of the empire before they got their title. And the Baron's family is PART OF THE EMPIRE? Like they were (almost) all killed because they were accused traitors in the previous emperor's time. BUT the Ruges WORKED for the Visiennas!?
It can't have been the Visiennas who punished the Ruges. Why would the only survivor come work for them as a teacher then? Also Ciel says, "He doesn't resent the royal family", which implies it's definitely the royal family who killed his family.
So the only possible other explanation is... that the empire gave the Visiennas the land that Baron Ruge owned before so now it's Eustia Estate. It's that are the empire just so happened to have a piece of land called Eustia and were like f it, the Visienna head's name is Eustia and this land is called Eustia, let's just give it to him.
