Extra WN info on Freyl and Rai of the 1st timeline:
Freyl
Observant and alert, he presented the most problems to Tia's schemes. So she had him killed.
Rai
Tia engaged Rai's services often to execute her plans. Unfortunately Lawrence found out about him and arrested/tortured him for info to justify Tia's punishment in the 1st timeline. So this time Tia's making sure Rai is firmly in her debts now.
Also, some background info on Tia's birth and the Rozan family's murder, from WN Chp 17.
Tia's father is not Marquis Rozan, because he was too old and ill to bed Miraila. Her father was likely one of the marquis' grandsons, whom Miraila likely seduced. Although the marquis' daughter suspected this, she never took action and accepted Tia's presence to avoid the shame and exposure of a cheating scandal to the family reputation.
The emperor got cross at Miraila getting pregnant by another man, so she decided to take over the Rozan inheritance to give herself more social security/leverage. She struck during the marquis' funeral by poisoning the dinner served to the present family members and blaming the Hanson servant family for it. The murder was sloppily planned and implemented; the only reason Miraila fully escaped sentencing was due to the emperor's intervention, who ultimately still loved Miraila too much to see her prosecuted. He pulled strings and bribed parties to get her fully acquitted.
It's very nice to hear they are licensing it, but God do I hope that official translations are not too far behind. I can understand a week of new chapters being late, but it's annoying when official translations are behind for months for no really good reason.
Wow! Mass release! I’ll definitely support it on Tappytoon! So glad it’s on that app, I have an account there, and their translations are good 😁 Thanks for the info and this mass release!!!
