Question, sir!
Did the kidnapping indeed the Remington’s family scheme? The lady on the last page of chapter 54?
Can you tell for what reason? Is it pure jealousy towards the supposedly secret inherited talent? Or is it really just to make sure Lia didn’t get betrothed to the prince?
I’m so curiousssss (〜￣△￣)〜
Spoiler!!!

It's a collab scheming between that lady and the royal family of the eastern kingdom (?) family (aka the guy that got wacked in the shin by MC). It's a scheme to make the country's barrier fall down and be overrun by the shadowy thingy (forgot name lol).
The lady gets involved because she wants to be free from her noble family's duty. Remember, the 4 noble families and the royal family has to dedicate their lives for maintaining the barrier, they are not free. MC's family is just too hardheaded to be controlled by the council.
So anyway. The lady doesn't want to be shackled her whole life for a country she didn't love, so she schemed with that eastern kingdom royalty (the only country that has no shadowy thingy, thus, no magic stone). But the lady didn't care who died so long as she gets free.
regarding to your reply below, what will happen to the lady and the ones who schemed Lia's kidnapping? (●'◡'●)ﾉ

Honestly I don't exactly remember. It's been a long while since I last read it.
So basically the climax of the novel is when there's a hostage situation, and the eastern army managed to bring down the barrier by disconnecting and stealing (I think) the magic stone from the main barrier machine.
I don't remember much about others, I mostly remember the MC, but of I'm not mistaken, the lady and her husband ran away to eastern kingdom. So unless they caught her, she wasn't able to be punished. The damanged shin guy though, he was caught, so there's that.
What I somewhat remember is that the lady's children either ran away from the lady, or refused to follow her to the neighboring country. The children wasn't punished, of course, but their family name got demoted, I think? I don't know if there's any change, but I particularly remember feeling angry that the lady ran away.
I need to read it again.
thank you so much!! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
No, there's nothing between Lia and the prince. Or anyone for that matter. Until the end of the novel, they're all still kids. Lia barely passed toddler stage.
So unless there's an update for side chapters or something for their adult age, nothing romantic ever appear between any important characters.
