I kept thinking about it about why they would go through such a plot, only for Victoria to come back after Elena has had a child. There were many times to prior that they could have returned.
Rationality speaking why would hide that for 5 or so years.
One could think a sickness, but she would of returned sooner if that was the case.
Only reason I can think of is that she had a dalliance with someone thus losing her maidenhood (loosing any chance marry royalty) my guess is Ren Bastache, the blackmailing cousin.
Either he took it forcibly (since he hates the family) or secret romance, which is why he is quite knowledgeable about her appearance.
My guess either pierced ears or a marking/scar, that he put in the neck or ear area.
So Victoria returned only after Elena had her own so the physical changes that only happened after a child wouldn't be a problem anymore.
Tis my guess why the plot.

@imtaciturn I'm pretty sure everyone in that house is bad, now the Prince? Maybe still redeemable only cuz this is a Manwha and FL always gotta have a lover which I don't think is always needed. I hate when a FL gets back with a shit Prince. Hopefully there is another new Male Lead. Now, back to that maid, I think FL only mentioned that she was young because she was so surprise someone that young was so colded hearted and able to fake her personality so well. So that's why I think everyone in that house bad.

@InsanoKing Well i can't say much about the ML. I lost count of how many manhwas/mangas i drop because of a shitty ML, hopefully that the ML in this is actually likeable. About the maid, I've never really thought about it from that point of view. I thought she mentioned young as in 'an innocent lil girl' but your explanation makes sense!

wouldnt this be a bit too obvious?
if she was probably her old self she would have probably gladly sat down every single soft cushion in the room
unless her plan is to make her look like the typical rich noble who's like "i dont like these old rags gimme something new!"

@Ell_In_A_Box i think she's going to play dumb and say "the duke said this is my home and I can do what ever I want" card to show the others how blinded she is of the money and power.

So there has been a lot people mentioning how awful the prince is, I mean he finds out his wife gave birth to his child but calls it a mistake. What an as***le ....... or is he?
For this we should put ourselves in his shoes. (Yes let's put on our thinking shoes). So the prince finds out his wife (fake veronica = elena) has given birth to ...... hold on he finds out.... am I the only one or it really felt like he just found out in those 2 panels. This means he didn't know his wife was pregnant, mean he was either away or they hid it from him.
But the first thing he says we does find out is 'it was a mistake'. Means he didn't want to have child with her. What happens if he did, here what the prince might think - when he takes the throne, veronica would be the Empress. And duke friedrich ( I almost typed duck friedrice 😂😂) would gain more power and authority as the empress' father and the young prince grandfather. But the Duke and the imperial family don't get along, they oppose each other.

Based on what they teach the prince Jr., he might rely or side with his maternal grandfather (duke) more. And when prince Jr. takes the throne with that mindset, it's like handing over the nation to the Duke on silver platter. I.e. In name it would be the imperial family who is in governance of the state but reality it would be the Duke. Worst case it could be a coup d'etat since the duke would hold more authority than the imperial family. This is why the prince said 'my momentary mistake would cause the millenium empire's downfall'.
But unfortunately for him he doesn't know that his wife was actually Elena not Veronica and his child was not even related to the Duke. His misfortune was actually a blessing in disguise.

Now for the second question ' why would the Duke use Elena as a replacement when veronica is still alive?'
For this a wonderful theory is given by @Zephian. I.e. veronica may have lost her innocence to Ren Bas***d ( oops u know what, lets stick to that). So she won't be able to marry the crown prince. That's maybe why he was able to find out Elena was fake. And he blackmailed her for info on the duke. He probably did that so veronica won't be able to become the empress and the duck's (I mean Duke) plan would fail. But the duke was able to find a replacement. But Elena was oblivious at that time and fell for their tricks.

This time Elena knows what's going on so even if Leabi**ch thinks she has everything in the palm of her hands....... its not. So Leabi**ch better start practicing 48 hrs a day or she's never ganna catch our Mc.
And who's gonna be the Ml, here's what I think prince - 90%, new char. - 70%, Ren bas**d -20% ( I swear I'd rage quit if that happens)
But hey, it's just a theory a... ( never mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

@7Lotus Forgot to check my notifications, my bad. Its hard to reply to a long text on the phone with me having to go back and look at what you write and back into my comment lol.
I think the Prince knew she was a fake and is in the plan with the Duke. When he mentioned "a momentary mistake" it sounds like he gave into lust and had sex with her when he wasn't suppose too. Since he got her pregnant, he created a legitimate heir to the throne, bastard or not. Pretty sure the nobles don't want a bastard heir.

They're are spoilers in the comment about why they needed a replacement for Voronica but I won't say. Your theory about the cousin does seem plausible to me since the Dukes whole family seems like trash.

Oops looks like someone confirmed my theory wrong before I wrote my comment lol
