Long comment ahead! Spoilers if I must say. If you get tired of waiting LOL I read the novel and spoilers too.

anon June 16, 2021 6:30 pm

Duke ( Rudiger Winterwald ) = Our ML in this manhwa
Aunt ( Judith Maybaum ) = a side character in the novel, Luca’s blood related aunt
and our FL in this manhwa
Luca = The ML of the NOVEL, our FL, the aunt transmigrated to.
Jonas = Luca’s biological father and the blond “brother” of Duke Rudiger.
Duke = I forgot his name but he’s the current Duke of Winterwald
Duchess Sophie = a loyal maid of Princess Vanessa, The Duke’s Wife and first love.
Princess Vanessa = Jonas’ biological mother, the former king’s daughter
Franz = antagonist of the novel, wants to take over the Winterwalds’ duchy / land

> Luca did really go back in time. The cup that grants wishes mentioned previously is what he used in his past. “ I wish everyone would gain happiness “ but instead it turned back time. The reason that this time Luca brought his Aunt Judith with him is because she secretly gave Luca a portrait of Luca’s biological mother.

> The sole reason that Luca’s aunt is mean to him is because Luca resembles his father. Judith did not hold any grudge against her sister. This is because Judith thinks that the reason her sister died is because of her shitty husband, Jonas. And Luca who looks like Jonas, fueled her abuse. Judith’s hate towards Luca vanished and transferred to Duke Rudiger/ the Winterwalds after Luca was taken away from her. ( This is because she realized I guess that Luca didn’t do anything )

> The reason Duke Rudiger was dead is because of both Judith and Franz. Judith tried to gain help from Franz not knowing that Franz wants to takeover the Winterwalds’ duchy. He was unable to kill Luca since Judith wanted Luca alive in the first place and this is also when Luca knew his aunt had genuinely cared for him secretly.

> The current Duke of the Winterwald ( not Rudiger ) is already aware right from the beginning that Luca is not blood-related. So is Luca’s father, Jonas. The duke does not care who becomes the heir to his duchy.

> Judith is the grand daughter of Greta or Margaret ( the former king’s sister ). Greta eloped with a commoner since he was handsome ( no fr its true ). This is why the former king became overprotective of Vanessa, who was Greta’s sister, because the former king thinks Vanessa will also end up like Greta. And she did “end up” like Greta because the former king was borderline overprotective. Greta eloped with the duke ( The Winterwald’s current Duke ) not because Greta loved him but it was the only way to escape from the King’s clutches since the Duke loved Greta’s maid named Sophie. Sophie is the current duchess of the Winterwald.

> Vanessa was very promiscuous and would sleep around until she got pregnant. Assuming it was one-night-stand, she was not able to know who the father of her child. When she gave birth to Jonas, she regretfully died. And that is why Jonas ended up with the Duke and Rudiger at the same time as “brothers”. In short an illegitimate son.

> The reason why Duchess Sophie doted on Jonas so much and less on Duke Rudiger is because Jonas looks so much like Vanessa. And Sophie who was very loyal to Princess Vanessa is the main reason why she doted on Jonas a lot.

> The duke murdered Jonas. Although, he didn’t care who his heir was, as long as the heir was fit to rule, he didn’t matter if he was blood related or not. But Jonas did not fit that double standard. This is because Jonas was in short an asshole and a spoiled brat. He did not want to be a king in order to lead but for the benefits of it. ( e.g. living lavishly, treasure and other selfish things ) Jonas even wants to genuinely murder and kill Sophie, the duchess and thinks that she is an ‘eyesore’. The duke knew that Jonas would use the cup for his wish to become king.

    I edited the comment so that no one would be confused and somehow it erased the comments???? But I did take a glimpse of someone asking me if Sophie was romantically involved with Vanessa. As far as I know, Sophie was very loyal to her since Sophie was Vanessa's closest friend and maid. I don't really know her true feelings or whatnot since it was kind of vague. They shared each other's secrets and everything that they felt. Duchess Sophie is actually very fond of our MC, Judith. Since Judith is royal blood and she has violet eyes like Vanessa. Vanessa a long time ago told Sophie that "Take care of anyone with Violet eyes because they will encounter a problem caused by me".

    AH HERE IT IS copy pasting my reply anw. As far as I know, Sophie was very loyal to her since Sophie was Vanessa's closest friend and maid. I don't really know her true feelings or whatnot since it was kind of vague. They shared each other's secrets and everything that they felt. Duchess Sophie is actually very fond of our MC, Judith.

    Actually no Winterwald has ever used the cup to make a wish. The cup itself is only "passed down" through generations. Only those of *royal blood* can make a wish using it. Hence, why Luca was able to make his wish. The cup was given to the Winterwalds in order for them to protect it from anyone who wants to quench their greed. The Winterwalds are specifically tasked to keep it away from the royal family.

    Who's the father of jonas?

    anon June 16, 2021 6:49 pm

    BTW I forgot to mention that in the original timeline of the novel before our MC transmigrated. Duker Rudiger's mom, Sophie dies because of anxiety/ trauma/ depression or in short mental illness ever since she found out that Duke Rudiger died. Even though she didn't make an effort in Rudy's upbringing I guess she still loved him secretly.

    Who's the father of jonas? ganda;>

    He isn't mentioned. He's an unknown person. Princess Vanessa after escaping the royal family, became wild/promiscuous. Thus, Jonas is a result of princess vanessa's countless one-night-stands.

    Hello! Just to vaguely explain I am half korean so when I red the novel, it was in korean. I do not have the novel itself with the eng. translation but if you search it up you can see the novel in eng but not in full. This is because the author has threaten to sue anyone who distributes / translates their novel without consent / legal partnership ! My notes listed here are from months back ~ Awfully sorry maybe if you scroll past some more, you may find it ?

    Technically, yes. But at the end of the novel, he decides to take off his name from the Winterwald’s family registry. Duke Rudiger ends up being the heir to the Winterwald Duchy. As for Luca, we do not know. If I recall correctly he wants to live peacefully!

    Ok I kind of had a feeling since the translated version only went up to the point where the Luca is trying to convince the aunt to go with him. Guess there’s only one solution then… imma learn Korean >~< Alright thank you though!

    Hello! Thank you for the Spoilers :)
    Just one question..
    Since Judith our FL has royal blood.. and Rudiger our ML who she is not blood related to her at all.. got together?
    And also since the condition to be able to inherit the duchy... is to marry a royalty.. then if ML(who is literally the true blood related heir of the current duke) CAN inherit the duchy if he marries Judith and then she becomes the duchess...
    Hope they inherit the duchy since our ML very much deserves it.(/TДT)/
