Thanks for the quick updates!
I’m curious as to how this will go considering it’s implied she did well enough in her first life. Although it seems like the duke and emperor didn’t help her before? Odd since, from what we’ve seen, she hasn’t done much differently to affect anything yet. Or maybe they did but she didn’t give it much thought back then?
In regards to new allies, I’ll take a guess that the black haired boy on the cover will be one of them, and her love interest. With allies she’ll be able to save her reputation and relationship with the kids, but I wonder how they’ll work the romance in.
