The one who ruins the family, I mean. Let's look at what causes their destruction: Going against Kyle, who will likely take the thrown, therefore being destroyed by him. Let's just look at what we have got with the family. Chloe is the smartest in the family, she wouldn't massively go against one of the factions, but would have kept their neutral status, if anything. No reason to destroy them over it. Aria would have never done anything politically motivated in the first place; and even if so, she originally loved Kyle. The Father was neutral. The Countess wasn't interested in politics, just in pushing Jason. Jason was indeed in line with the "wrong" prince, but Jason is also braindead. He was used and caused and issue, but I think that's where his history ended originally. But now? Look at the situation, in which Logan had no reason to keep holding a grudge towards Tara. What did she ever really do to him? Sure, Aria was immature as well, but she grew out of it. And in between talking about the Countess visiting a gambling den and Aria's book club getting traction, they mentioned Logan being a part of a Club as well. Something about Awakened Young Men? This same club's members were the ones spreading that odd nursery rhyme among the beggar kids. Sure, he doesn't have to be involved, but he still holds on to that grudge, visible in how he was the literal only person among the family that bad-mouthed Tara all throughout that theatre skit during the birthday party. You could say he partially stayed opposed to her, as she affiliated with Kyle and simultaneously grew his antipathy towards Kyle by his association with Tara. Basically, a symbiotic relationship. Would somewhat check out and it's the only one I can imagine for the role.
Overall... I never really understood why she held Kyle off for so long. If he's the one to finish your family, no matter who caused it, wouldn't it make the most sense to have a close relationship? Wouldn't she want him to be infatuated with her? Even without it being your plan, it feels like a gift either way. But, to be honest, despite this story leaning heavily on the "here's a scheme and I will make sure you will be told every single step in one info dump every time, like Detective Conan", which is btw boring for the most part, just like Detective Conan, it gets the simplest things to sound illogical. All of these big ass schemes and mind games, but things the story says "are just like that" seem not to stem from a causal connection between characters, the world and the events in it, but just there to fulfill the author's wishes. Don't get me wrong, I like this story, but some things just stick out like sore thumbs.
