its usually first born sons that becomes heir
I kinda forgot most of the story, but i remember that her aunt was like a designated heir(?) That's why Tia was like treating the debutante seriously because her aunt had an imperial debutante ball. And uh i forgot but like her aunt's backstory was like she was supposed to be this superior heir, however her reputation got destroyed because of her husband's sins. It was like one of the Lombardi's downfalls as well. That's why i thought when Tia fixed her aunt's problem in this timeline, then her aunt would succeed Lombardi as designated. I'm confused tho and i could definitely feel that i have wrong misinterpretations here so please someone feel free to explain Σ( ￣□￣||)
shes the oldest but that doesnt mean she is the heir. viez (??) her oldest uncle was like the "designated heir" is bcs he is the oldest son which is like a common thing. she could be the head of the family if the grandfather would state in his will after he dies that he would leave the family to her, thats why the imperial family, specifically the empress is trying so hard to get rid of the Lombardi family is because the head of the Lombardi family encourages competition between siblings, like the first prince and perez. also, tia fixed the timeline bcs in the original timeline, her aunt left the mansion or something and let her ex husband take the twins and let him leave unscathed is because, as tia stated, she wants peace in their family.
im not so sure but at first she doesnt want to inherit the family becoz of her husband but after his idiot brother mess up the family business she decided to step in and buy some time for Tia till shes old enough to lead the family
Wait what happened to her aunt? Isn't she supposed to be the next heir of Lombardi?
