I feel so bad for her. Not only was she raped and got pregnant.
But the child born is narcissistic, greedy, selfish and poisonous.
That only brings pain and disruption to her family.
To call Julia a burden to the Traeger household is an understatement.
It's a shame because the Duchess seems like such a nice and sweet lady. She got shafted twice over. First with the rape and second with end result which was Julia.

Hahaha the wise dowager roasted him. Berta's father is a very cunning guy (thank goodness!) he got his daughter the ally needed to protect her and his grandson. Since, the King clearly isn't up to the role yet.
Dowager is correct regarding his attitude and naivety when it comes to Marguerite.
To think he almost willingly handed over his son to such a woman? Who clearly would of harmed and abused the child. Along with her minions.
Like the dude HATES Tia and her mother Because....
---spoilers---
Tia's mother was his sister's daughter via a commoner she had a relationship with. Making Tia's mother his niece and Tia his grand-niece. But he still despises them so much for their "commoner" roots, he poisons Tia's mother to death and tries to do the same to Tia. Also ,feeding both women poison to render them infertile. But here is where it gets weird...
Yet, he still has no problem supporting and "adopting" Jieun, that not only is a 100% "commoner" but also a foreigner with a background nobody knows. And unlike Tia has no relation to him. And pushing for that cunt to become the empress. despite it going very against his "aristocratic" ideals.
I know in the in the original timeline he still fucked Jieun and Ruve over after he manipulated it so that Tia and her father were scapegoated for Jieun's attack.
Jieun just emerged out of water and was considered a “blessed child loved by Vita,” so that must be good enough for Zenna to consider her a noble. I also felt like he hated Tia’s grandfather so much for impregnating his sister that he projected it onto his niece and grand-niece.
Yeah but still. Prior to Jieun cunt dropping from the sky. That "Blessed child" title was bestowed upon to Tia. Yet he still dedicated himself to fucking her life up.
The dude makes no sense.
This is the same dude that turned away his own sister when she asked for medicine before dying of illness, so he’s kindaaaa a prick
Then why the fuck should he care who she shacked up with?
He makes no sense.
