In NovelUpdate Spoiler a commentor claimed it was the emperor who didn't want the marriage between the MC AND ML to happen.
But why would the assassin says these words to Adele before her death: "You ve done well until now". Why bother lying to a girl that is about to killed?
And since they know that she is the fake bastard daughter, wouldn't it have been better to declare publically that she is not the real one and that the og daughter died under the stone disease? It doesn't make much sense to me!
Even if the trash duke dad didn't order the assassination, he did not send her away with a large entourage with strong guards. He didn't even bothered or cared enough and that is a fact. I wouldn't be surprised given the chance he would immediately sacrifice her to a cause without any hesitation.
If they had publicly announced that she was a fake and that the legitimate daughter died of stone disease their duchy would fall into ruin.
