The mum herself admitted that in the carriage towards the palace that she / they never spoiled cain and "he is giving the love he never got towards his sister" and now with the duke being so supprised hearing from the teachers makes me think he never showed any interest in his studies or what he did literally like i just know the only reason is isnt a mega next level edge lord and hates his family is because he is isekai and didn't even see the duke and duchess as his parents like he still has his past memories

Yeah he its like they see him as the funny gag character in a game who suddenly in a hidden route only unlock by getting every ending turns out to be the deepest character of them all and secretly most involved with the actual plot
Its like they haven't unlocked his character content and instead of putting in effort to get to know him they were like
"Hahhahahaha funny gag character is a funny gag character" like wow congratulations meaningful human to human contact and engaging with other is clearly a choice for you

And sht is going to be so infuriating cause fl has a plan for the custody trial thats pretty good but we arent really shown her thoughts process so it like hiden from us (the reader) too
(at least i couldn't really glean at it before the trial or im just dumb and bad at self translating ... Which is fair tbh)
Those a&&holes did like a whole lot of bribing and and roping other nobles into lying for them that they got like this huge savings acc for her that thes set up when she was baby cause they love her and some noble lady lies about always being over and being good friends with fl and the headmaid telling that she was always taken care of ( plus that hussy of an isekai oh protag spreading a rumour about "when she first came to the house she was stunned by how beautiful fl was in her luxurious clothes (which is such an audacious lie like omg))
But those lies getting fck when fl for example asks the noble lady what's her middle name is and noble lady guess the Grandmas name (cause nobles often give the grandparents name as middle name) and fl goes no i dont have one which shocks the court hall cause every noble has a middle name
To which the trash noble fam lies something about being sick and making excuses about never giving her a middle name
The noble thats part of the nations treasury committee is also shown , his lie that the dad asks him to help him set up a savings acc for fl, cause the fl shows of the proof she got from the information guild that the fam has no such acc and have no money period cause the dad lost everything gambling and they are in massive debt because of that
The judge who is a massive dumbass at first doesn't want those documents cause evidence needs to be registered before to which fl simple recounts all the trials were he did accept late evidence during the trial to this he shuts up
(like he always accepts it doing it now would be questionable on his part wherever or not this is truly a fair trial)
(( ESPECIALLY WHEN he just accepts the shittx isekai protag waltzing into the court and standing up next to the damn nobles))
She calls forth her witness that church bestie whom treats her white disease who explains in just how much of an bad condition the fl was in and that the white disease is not contagious and treatable by the temple so the fact that she always died from it is proof as well of abused
Fl also explains that of course she was never treated any money that could have been used to treat her was gambled away
And against the headmaid she only had to recount some of the scars she still has from her abuse and she caved confessing to the abuse on the order of the trash noble
Its also revealed that the duke of the north put her Infront of the other dukes house, when she told them the day trash isekai protag came to the house fl was thrown out with some servants and luggage but the servants immediately left and took all the stuff and left her in the snowstorm he only revealed it cause nobody was believing it so he came forwards as a witness
Anyway
So obviously they lost the trial
The shittx trash nobles got arrested for child abuse and the shitty isekai protag left the family
After all she only just got added to the family registry and the whole story is about her being noble and rich but now she isnt rich , the family reputation is ruined and the gambling debts are going to make her piss for so she ditches the family name
Which is so so sooooo funny to me like
Shitty isekai protag got her memories realised that she is in a novel and goes to her noble families house earlier than in the og story
I'm pretty sure that in the og story fl was still with those shitty nobles when het aunt send her the mercedes family stuff and the family took all the money and fl died from white disease then they found og novel daughter which then used all the money as she pleased
But thx to the og novel protag being an isekai trash protag she went there and messed the time frame which is why was at the dukes house when aunt send the mercedes family treasure
Gurl did it to herself lol
They rarely make men like him in this kind of stories anymore he doesn't fck around and from the get go was down for valia
I can truly respect him
