it is just everytime I see the marquess and the mc I can’t see any resemblance. At first I thought that their eyes are similar but when I saw the emperor’s I change my mind the marquess eyes is more of yellow while the emperor’s is like golden shade the same with the mc so I just speculate that the mc is the daughter of the emperor because of their resemblance
Oop sorry kinda typed this while drowzy. What I meant is that.... the orange girl that had been with the prince when she visited is the actual marquis daughter whilst lecian is the empress child. They have been switched but I forgot if it was meant to protect her or it was an acvident .... and little miss orange head is salty because lecian "stole" her spot as marquis child like... bitch... you can have it... and .... errr... the prince is technically Lecian's half brother... or something like that

What if the fl is not the marquess daughter but the emperor’s daughter when I look at it the marquess and fl doesn’t look alike but her eyes look exactly like the emperor’s. And that explain why the marquess attitude to the mc because she is not his daughter and he knows it. When we look at it the marquess is nice to his other daughter which means his hatred is not based on gender.
THIS IS JUST A GUESS SO I AM NOT SURE
