Hmm I guess the author is trying to make the MC come across as a super nice saint-like character but honestly I can't figure out why she's still willing to help the poor Duke when he's such a bastard to her all the time. Like she doesn't even have feelings for him so why is she being such a martyr?

I like to think that she's doing it for the people who are suffering not for the asshole Duke..... I mean if one got married and had the position to help the people that your in charge of wouldn't the correct path be to help any ways you can.... I mean yeah she isn't getting treated nice like why are they such assholes ..... but i don't think i could turn a blind eye to a bunch of people suffering if i could help in anyway..... and i don't know what she gonna do but its probably not something good since her uncle is against it..... but if it's the only way its the only way....
... And now I ship Hildert and Julian
Yes.
