There's already a comment that made the point i all agree with few comments behind me but here's my version
1. There's just no way a fucking single adult man is allowed to be in one roof with TWO single aristocrate women. And the house is still in the middle of nowhere too. NO. Back in that era, this kind of thing is a taboo in the eyes of many even of there's nothing going on between them. it's still okay if the MC lived in another house but is still in the same area but i don't think living together like this is ethical
2. Aristocrates ppl have their own responsabilities, especially eldest child. girl, why are you here. why don't you help your father after all the misunderstands resolved? the world building is just messy atp
3. Why do you take so long for informing the Duke FOR FUCK SAKE
4. Employing someone questionable just because you want to help is...
wow the plothole is amazing at this point...
