Also, I believe "that thing" and the maid older half brother will cause trouble. "That thing" as comical relieve, but the brother will be trouble.
And the thing about the coupling. He might be taken, but I don't thing mother Nelson will give up that easily. She will cause a major misunderstanding between our lovebirds (MC and village girl) unknowingly, or maybe even intentionally. The 2nd scenario would be the more interesting one, as Mrs. Nelson isn't a villainess (she just wants the best for her nation and family), but it still would cause major trouble for everyone. The drama!
