To anyone that are confused about the ‘plot twist’ that just happened:
• ‘Grand Duke’ is a title given to the close relative of the sovereign. Mostly the relatives of the King (or Queen). They are under their sworn monarch however they are above the Prince/Princess their monarchs have, thus making the title have more sense. If the prince/princess are too young to rule the kingdom, or the sovereign of said kingdom doesn’t have any heirs, the Grand Duke/Duchess are in line to inherit the kingdom. Thats why every eligible maidens tried their best to marry the Grand Duke, because in all honesty, he is a ‘Prince’ just not related to the royal family as their direct child. You can search it up on google.
• I’d like to add a note that Grand Duke/Duchess can also be inherited by the actual children of the King and Queen. Im thinking they are the ones who cannot inherit the throne (like a second/third son, or a daughter) but wish to serve their monarch politically. Either way, ‘Grand Duke’ is a Prince in a different title so this explains the title of the story.
• Teresse in the very beginning of the story, didn’t want to be the consort of the Grand Duke. Sure it was appealing to her and her family because of the wealth and prestige they would receive if she was chosen, but all she wanted was to work FOR the Grand Duke. I forgot the occupation but im assuming its working as an official or a librarian (correct me if im wrong). Teresse had no intentions to marry the Grand Duke. It was an obligation for her to join in as a candidate because she is a noblewoman.
• It has been heavily implied (imo) that Riina would become the Grand Duchess. I mean, Teresse didnt really hold the rose much and it was already turning red when she saw it (just as it was shown in her flashback in the new chapter) and who was the one who had the access to the flowers first? Riina.
• Personally i like this twist. Im a bit biased with ‘Team Jade’ so i’m glad it was Riina so Jade can have his happy ending
