Is MC properly part of the Duke's family, as in, her name is in the family official register? signed by King, etc etc?
spoiler: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . coz as i remember, she's always desperate at the 'name' of Madeline, nobles do call her Lady Madeline but in the story, when she got a property (a supposed useless mine), she just signed it w/ her first name, since she came from a commoner background she normally does not have a surname, and then when the royal family tried to claim back the property thinking she signed it w/ Madeline as a surname to force her back in the family, they cannot, since she kept the surname blank (our MC plays 4D chess, now and in the future). Aside from that, the lawyer that notarized the change of property accepted it without questioning about the surname. Nobles can't simple say "oh i left the family i don't use that surname anymore", everything needs to be official, there should be a document as to where the person is being stripped off the noble's family name, signed by the highest member of the family (duke). Maybe it was cleared or mentioned at the start of the novel? i didn't read that part since I started where the webtoon left of.
