The FL is finally the duchess now that the ML has forced her to marry except not really because they're not married yet. He takes her to his mansion thingy and realizes what a jerkwad he has been. He tries to tell her, "Girl, you can stop being a robot now. I love you and want you to show your emotions," and to that, the FL says, "Heh, like I'm ever going to believe that."
So yeah, wedding preparations. The emperor sends the ML and og FL to do a field check for a hunter festival and traps them in a mana cave. And I swear, the author took her inspiration from Satan himself while writing his character. At least Satan provides us a choice, this man straight ruins people's lives. He brings MC to his office and tells her to save them by revealing her powers or let them die. So she saves them. As a result, the emperor comes to the duke's mansion the next morning saying that shamans are national properties. He traps her in this room and asks her to break the marriage he decreed and become his personal nuclear powerhouse empress. I have never seen a bastard more infuriating than him.
The FL negotiates and convinces him that if the ML leaves her if he reveals everything, she'll become the empress. So the ML bursts in and the emperor reveals everything. Every single detail that the FL had been trying to hide all this time. And I must sigh in anger. The ML doesn't leave but is a bit ticked off at being fooled for 8 years straight but finally feels that he can understand the FL.
The emperor shifts in the hunting festival by a month causing the wedding to be shifted back by a month (probably because he still wants that nuclear powerhouse) and so comes in tension. May I say that this is a love triangle made in hell? ML finally sees FL not acting like a robot by herself, says he loves her and gives her an option to divorce is she feels burdened by the marriage. FL thinks he wants her to go because of the betrayal and mentally starts to pack up or something.
The ML sees her resignation, feels guilty and says he'll bring in her mother to patch up things. To do that, FL must become a viscount and so the ML goes to emperor to ask for permission. There the emperor says that let FL conduct the hunting festival and she'll be the viscount or he'll shift back wedding even more. So the ML concedes and here we stand.
