Just suddenly had a thought what if author is tricking us and the duchess’s MIA brother is the actual ML, and she’s just showing us these ass ML candidates to mislead us?
Sorry to break this news, but ML is that black hair guy （￣へ￣）and he also kept erasing FL's past memories.
I also at first hope it's like "When The Villainess Love" where somehow the ML had only been introduced on S2 (lmao & I don't even ship them). I hope that the missing first prince is miraculously the ML. But as we can see the flow, and some spoilers, the ML is the ordinary demon-king facial template guy ╮(￣▽￣)╭
In all honesty this story would be so much better if the romance was just taken out, all the ML options suck
