She's Hubong's future wife, if any of the readers here that haven't read the two novels. Don't expect that they'll got married in this story because it was later mentioned that they are a couple in the sequel and if you're wondering if Hubong is still bald that time, no. If you're going to take a sneak peek from the early chapters, Hubong's is quite a looker with his hair so it is no wonder why someone like her (the grand elder of the cult) will be her husband and I'm not particularly sure with this because it is been a year since I read the sequel I think Hubong actually got a red hair after mastering sth related to his wife's martial art.

So apparently, Cesare is the ML. Remember how Cesare was so fond with the mermaid things and how he see Adele like a mermaid? The truth is that, Cesare met a mermaid when he was young and that mermaid was actually Adele. Cesare ask Adele to marry him but yeah I think Adele is somehow far older than Cesare? So one of Adele's sister gave up her voice to transform Adele as a human though I think conflict happen causing Adele losing her memories. The universe of this story tells that when a mermaid die and reincarnated as a human, all of her/his memories will be lost, so maybe Adele died and yeah reincarnated as a human. Also, if you are hoping that Ezra is kind? A second male lead type? The supposedly fiance of Adele? Nah, you got it wrong. He's a hypocrite, the reason why he like Adele was because she is a Buonaparte when Adele's background revealed. He cast her away telling her that she's no good to him as a noble. After that, it is when Cesare and Adele do the deed and how Cesare confessed but yeah lol Adele didn't hear him and that fool leave the morning so Adele assume that he only wants her body. There are a lot of things that will happen here such gambling (apparently Cesare was so bad at it), flirting, deceiving, murder, bullying, so on... Futher, there is a scene here when a banquet happen and there is a test for a noble and the brother should tell their sister that but Cesare didn't and leave Adele alone so nobles feasted on her, she was getting bullied by noble girls who likes Cesare and harass by perverts and she thinks that Cesare will help her as a sister but that mtf Cesare just watched it.
In the end they got married. Lmao.

So, the emperor was so fond of the duke because he liked the former duke (I'm not sure if it's a duchess or a duke), who was an omega man. So, after his death, the emperor decided to take care of his son. The emperor may not have had his own family with the former duke's he loved the most, but his son and that former duke's son, will.
