the empress doesn't look dumb she should've figured out that it was already too late that that the duke has developed parental feelings of love for the MC. & maybe i missed it that the empress had feeling for the duke ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ but she knew what she was doing by insulting the wife of the man she was talking to at night in a secluded place all alone. that was a b*tch move ( ̄へ ̄)
