It's lowkey hilarious that Herrace has just inserted himself into the harem, though the pacing was a bit off. Still, her long fainting periods are legit concerning, and I agree with other commentors that this illness may not be as cured as she thinks.
I feel legitimately bad for her friends, even though the Duke had bad intentions at first. The maid is the closest thing she has to family and now the maid knows she has an incurable illness. A child that was basically her daughter is dying for sure.
I'm wondering where the hell her family is though. The King talked big about how he was going to spend more time with her and proceeded to never show up, and the Crown Prince has surprisingly not come by to gloat. Her maternal family has to know too that she's going, and they haven't said a peep.
