Ohhh great deduction. I was too focused on avert connection with the Marquis (?) Albert's father because he's so set on protecting Avery I thought it's connected lolol that's why I'm so confused why she and that villainsess both have red hair.
But you're right. The red hair villainess did say she's and her husband was both second born(?).
However, I'm confused because they mentioned the three siblings, the first one died to served the country? The second one was a drunk and gambler and the third one also die? Her brothers? I'm a bit confused with all these hints hahaha
I don't really think that's her real family. I think that's just a family they found to give her a fake identity. Which would make sense, because her father has to be dead and in the "fake family" her "father" is the only one alive. So I think that that family doesn't really have anything to do with her at all. But I'm a little curious if the second born of the red haired woman (you now the one who hit her) is actually going to find out about it. Because he said, that he is going to find out how her mother and father took over the family.
the fake family name was acquired by the ML for Avery so that she’ll have a noble name despite being a commoner (since SPOILER: he does not know yet that she’s actually from a noble family since his father didn’t tell him yet). It’s something that the ML was working hard for as part of his plans so that it’ll be easier for people to accept him wanting to marry Avery. Despite his quite conceited ways of believing that she won’t reject his proposal, he really did work hard for a lot of things so that avery won’t have a hard time if she’ll be with him even if she’s a commoner T_T
this is only revealed on chapter 66. Elijah and Albert learn this secret separately and they haven't met (as she is kidnapped)
She is indeed the heir of the Duke. Her father was the heir, and he was killed by his own sister who wanted to make her husband into a Count even though he is the second son. The ones who know about this are the Queen, Albert's parents (the dad is Elijah's dad best friend), and the Duke (the grandfather of Elijah).
So Elijah has Duke grandfather, killer aunty and her husband, and 2 cousins (Matthew and Benjamin). Matthew currently is said to be the first heir. But apparently it is not (the fact that only those 4 people (the queen, duke, count and countess) know) That's why the count family keep Elijah there as a boy and has her dyed her hair brown. Because damn she looks just like her father with her red hair.
All of this is told by Albert's dad (Joseph) to Albert at their home after Elijah is kidnapped by the killer aunty. She is still in the aunty house.
The chapter ended with the story about Elijah's dad (Joseph is telling Albert the secret and the story). Cliffhanger. We don't know yet how Elijah can go out from that killer house.
Yes! but i’m confused with the killer auntie’s actions since i have a friend who had read raws up to chapter 70+ and said that killer auntie wasn’t able to successfully kill Elijah’s father. So Elijah Sr. (her father) brought Elijah’s mom and Elijah far away to hide and live peacefully (until such time that Elijah Sr died naturally and Joseph continued helping Elijah and her mom to hide). Friend also said that the killer auntie killed her husband’s older brother so that his husband ( a second born in his family) could successfully succeed. So i’m confused rn if killer auntie actually killed her brother (Elijah Sr) or if the only one she killed was her husband’s older brother. Still, she’s evil and should perish! Really excited for all the revelations in succeeding chapters.
ah yes, i agree with the auntie being greedy for power. but i was wondering about the different spoilers i’ve seen since others say auntie killed elijah’s father but i’ve also received spoilers that auntie wasn’t able to successfully kill elijah’s father sooo i’m confused hahaha but gosh, if the queen really knew and she didn’t do anything, she needs to go down and crown prince should become a better king too
he was able to run away with the maid and it looked like he was dead but was alive until he dies later from being sick and MC was born after he died as for MC mom maybe dead idk and now the auntie wants MC dead and her cousin wants to get the MC pregnant by raping her in order to get the title of duke and save her from the auntie. this is as far as i got in the raws
i got the same spoilers with you but it was shared to me by friends from the raws and they said the parts we were talking bout was from up until chapters 70+ and the reveals of avery’s true identity took quite a slow pace in being revealed thus, they’re still getting to saving her from her crazy relatives

This is my theory ヾ(☆▽☆)
Avery's father was the older brother of the red haired woman and avery's mother is the woman her father had an affair with, before marriage. The red haired woman helped her current husband in killing her older brother, so that she and her husband could take over the family. (The second born, who is going to have the duel, said something similar. That his father could take over the family despite him being the second born).
