FL reincarnated into the current world, and in her world this world she is reincarnated in to is a story. She's trying to figure out who killed her parents and take revenge. From her foreknowledge -because of reading the story- FL presumed that the person who killed her parents is hiding in ML's Palace/Mansion (?). And FL presumed that ML is the final Villain in the story. Why use so many presumed"? Because FL never finished reading the damn book (at least that's the conclusion I came to for now).

So, using the knowledge she has from the book FL knew that a healer (I forgot what FL call em but basically it's a healer) found the ML dying. Nursed ML back to health and gained his trust, then the ML invited the healer to his Palace to stay. FL decided to insert herself into the healer's position. Essentially. But she got more than what she bargained for, for she ended up being ML's imprint companion.

(I think this is what happened to the healer too. I mean why would ML invite a stranger into their own house he's too cautious for that. Even if they're ML's savior I don't think he'll casually invite them to live with him.)

Being ML's imprint companion means they have to have skin ship or they both will die. FL has officially become ML's weakness, even ML said it so himself. According to the doctor they'll be stuck together for a whole year. That's how FL ended up staying in ML's Palace.

(You know? I think this is how FL's brother (FLB) killed ML. Because ML was told by a friend of his from the dark guild (?) That ML might be related to FL and FLB family's downfall. FLB could've potentially kill the healer to kill ML, because he thinks ML killed their parents.)

After arriving in ML's Palace. FL begins to plot on how to win the trust of ML and the ppl in the Palace. So, potentially in turn they could help her uncover the three identities of the ppl that framed/kill her parents.

FL tends to exchange letters with her older brother in the capital through a magical bird. Problem is ML warned FL that she can't open the window because she's not a shapeshifter. That she'll die because of the wards protecting the Palace. Thankfully FL figured out that she just needs to get another shapeshifter to open the window for her.

That's how FL tries to win the trust of a Maid Sloth -as in the animal Sloth- Rudel. Rudel obviously didn't like FL though. More like every single shapeshifter (I think?) Isn't a fan of humans because they used to ens*aved the shapeshifter. In the past the ens*aved shapeshifter revolted against the human and ran to the northern parts. That's how the Emperor/King decided to officially make the northern parts of the Kingdom their territory, it's also beneficial to the Kingdom cause the shapeshifter will be tanking against demons for the Kingdom. (You know what this part of the story isn't very clear. What I mean is that it's pretty hard to read. It's dizzying so I might get this part wrong.)

(This also lead me to believe that the ones who caused FL and FLB family's downfall isn't even a shapeshifter. But someone from the

FL who spends three years working as a healer in the shapeshifter territory managed to figured out most of the shapeshifters quirky personality. She knows that Rudel is a Sloth and that normal sloths can be lazy (?) Or messy (?) Or unorganized (?). But Rudel is one of the shapeshifter that defies their natural instinct. Making her the total opposite of a normal sloth. She's very meticulously organized, almost like OCD? Rudel Just loves seeing the place perfectly organized and clean. That's why FL impressed Rudel with her clean and organized room. After gaining Rudel's approval FL mentioned how she needs to air out the room. And she got Rudel to opened up the window for her.

Side note so far FL had won the approval of the Doctor. That explained FL and ML imprint situation. And Rudel the sloth Maid.

After opening the window FL received a letter from her brother through the bird (it's name is Cello). Basically here FL tells FLB that she's staying in ML's place. Then she quickly received FLB reply, he's asking her how she met ML. That sort of thing. Nothing too interesting you can guess it.

But ML who is in his office noticed the bird going inside FL's bedroom. ML notes that normal ppl can't see the bird unless they have magic. (I think the author is trying to say that ppl who doesn't have strong magic can't see Cello the bird.) This is where ML states that he is suspicious of FL. And that the direction that Cello took off to is the imperial capital. Which apparently he doesn't have a fond memories of.

(This part isn't clear because of how dizzying it is. There's a part where it's said that ML isn't the former Duke's son. Because of how he just arrived in the Palace one day. With shackles and bloodied body. I feel like he's a s*ave back at the imperial capital.)

I honestly forgot if this happened before FL received the letter from her brother or after. But ML had a dinner with FL and he kissed her hand. Here ML mentioned that he had one friend, a girl, in the past. But she died. And ML wants to kill the person responsible for her death.

(At the very least I don't think that ML caused the downfall of FL and FLB family. Since he states that he hasn't found the killer of his friend. Yet.)

Also FLB is quite dark. In the imperial capital most ppl thinks that he's a wall flower. But he's more of a dark wall. According to FLB POV FL thinks that FLB is that pure and innocent sibling. Which he isn't. He also has a misunderstanding with his sister. At least that's what the author wrote.

They're basically the Wolf, the Fox, the Jaguar, and the Shark. Each family successor has the potential to inherit the title Duke of Anais.
