That is the problem
They are using too much of their brain
And tbh illegitimate children indeed have a bad standing in society in those times so they are kind of blinded by that self created sense of wisdom and rightness lol
If they were 5, they won't even know wt illegitimate child is
Well, they have been abused since they came into this world. I can understand the pain. They can't trust anyone easily, can only depends on each other only. Even if they have a mind of adults, they are still children in this world. With constant abuse by the mother and the maid, their body and mental can't take it. And kindda a spoil from my own understanding from reading the raw. The emperor thought that they would die when they reach the age of 5. When the second prince say that the children still alive, then he decided to take them in (my theory may not be correct since I use Google translate )

But they didn't have a problem trusting that count and his son right who is a stranger? And their first encounter he was very dismissive and borderline rude to them when he bow to them, like damn ya'll are adults you didn't feel suspicious has to why he was so nice all of a sudden?(╯°Д °)╯╧╧ and they have the body of a kid not the way of thinking and they love to remind it too, but elas they are not as sharp as they want to make it seem like, they might as well have just been regular kids with no reincarnation.
You're right, maybe they were hoping that a stranger will treat them better than their own family
So you mean to say that their father and brothers have not been treating right since they picked them up let's not forget that every time they try to br nice or do something good for them they brush it off and become suspicious
I like the story but those twin really pissed me off like shit ya'll are supposed to be 23 grown adults, but they act like kids and think like them, they don't trust their family when they are nice to them but go on trusting a stranger, like shit ya'll don't ever be suspicious or something. I don't understand you are suspicious of your family but not of a stranger like what?? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ I get it he let you guys live without checking on yall it was terrible, but than you learn the reason why and you act like it don't matter ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ I'm seriously
