Is there a male lead on this or is she just focused on revenge?

Spoiler: She did say that, but in their past lives they did love each other but she never knew the prince lover her. He didn’t want her to be known as his weakness. When she died and the old Veronica took her place, he knew it wasn’t the woman he loved. Veronica got angry and sent people to kill him and the baby. In the end he ended up having to kill his child as well as himself.

And I’m referring to just in this story. In others, it’s usually different. But in this, the imperial family had lost their authority. The rotten, corrupt, nobles are the ones who have more. The four great families and the Grand Duke. Once Friedrich became the Grand Duke, that is when the imperial family lost their authority.

Also because the Grand Duke has astronomical funds. He was said to be above the imperial family.

In the first timeline, the construction of Noblesse Street (basically a street where only aristocrats can go, and it’s super luxurious.) especially solidified the thought that he was above the imperial family.
