i was also rooting for the Duke because out of the three he seemed the most keen to what Crochetta wanted. His whole thing is that he didn’t want to see her cry which was a lot more noble than the prince and Roger who at the time was obsessed with having her as revenge. I just feel like Roger should have died because it’s starting to feel redundant. the whole story revolves around him instead of Crochetta focusing on leaving

Unfortunately, I would've preferred her ending up with the Duke. Don't get me wrong, at the beginning of the manga I loved her relationship with Roger....but at this point it just feels like the author is forcing them to be together. It feels like there's no chemistry between them. Whereas the Duke seems like his heart is genuinely there for her. And yeah, he tried to kill Roger but only because he thought Roger RAPED her and THREATENED her. Yes, he tried to do that behind her back but he thought she was too afraid to ask for help. Also, the constant puking in the few chapters after she had sex with the Duke convinced me that she was pregnant with his child but for some reason the author just....wanted her to be puking at everything for no reason? No appetite and vomiting = pregnant. Author "no that's just how disgusted she was by the prince"...o-oh...ok. o.e
