Male friends? The Pope? That's her father, whom will transfer his household to hers, become the heir and rule the marquis' estate.
No, its Ansel
Ah, the 2ndml kind of trope, yeah, it's kinda off but it's a good thing. Because of Ansel they discovered that MC is not a fallen noble, ML is readily investigated the said problem and the couple knows and she becomes complete that's what matters. It's a little bit off but it doesn't make the story sour to the point you want him dead for sure.
For some reason I don't like FL's personality. why does she have to talk about his household problems with his male friends? Moreover, his guy friend has feelings for her. fl is also a bit selfish in my opinion, she also likes to make his own assumptions without listening directly to ML's opinion. I knows she's worried but she's too insecure.
