Well i don't think they'll end up together but they will have sex and she's going to get pregnant. Her child will be a bastard because the baby was made out of wedlock. I really hate the emperor because Paulina really liked the doctor and he just ruined her life by sleeping with her

No, they they ended up together at the final but due to some events, they first have a child after Paulina broke with the doctor who was planning to kill her and due to the sadness, Paulina and Lucius (to go along with it, like pal) get drunk and have sex that basically only Paulina remembers riding him while Lucius cry because he only half remembers the shape of her boobs. Paulina becomes pregnant, hides the pregnacy and only when she though was discovered, she tells Lucius about the kid who had already born. Lucius confess his love and Paulina rejects him because she believes he only wants her because she is woman that accompany him until the end of the conquest not Paulina herself ("If I was a men that day...Did you still fell in love with me?" in short) but promise to return to the castle, Lucius accept it.

But Lucius decide that he is going to show her he loves her for who she is, not just because she is just another women; If he is going to be rejected, at least by the feeligns he really feels. So, the wooing starts and Paulina let her self develop feelings and then Lucius does one of the best proposal to Paulina to not only love her but make a future where people like her have thing more easier. Paulina at the same time is respected but all the knights :D

Funny fact: In the painting of the their wedding, the painter change the face of Paulina to maker her more 'appeling' but Lucius was mad because it look like he married another women xd

Thank you!!! Now I will be less frustrated looking at the development between the doctor in Paulina GAHAHAHAHAHA BUT DAMN OUR EMPEROR IS SLOW THO

YEAH, in this novel who has the maiden heart of shoujo protagonist is Lucius who can't just fucking confess to the ML (Paulina), of course he does haven reason but is still funny adhsjkflakdh.

Their kid is boy or girl?

Wow what a sh*tty development of story. Everything takes to long and just irritates that sh*t out of me. Dunno if I should continue reading future updates if the story’s just gonna be like this smh ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Bruh the Doctor is piece of shit you know...
He's a fucking asshole that needs to die

Thank you so much!!!
Thank God you said that!!
I was so worried cause someone said they won't get together so I'm really relieved that you cleared up the misunderstanding!!
You're my hero now XD
After reading that fake spoiler I was super depressed and wanted to drop this cause I really like the ship XD

I mean is slow burn with political drama and complex people and Paulina 'u like me? no, u confuse' Winter, it's just how the author write it because it's more about Paulina's life and Lucius who happens to fell in love with her. But the title and the cover can make you think is just typical romance korean romance novel that for the middle or very begginer MC and ML are already together lol. At least, more 100 chapters for the manwha to the final at the bare minium and Paulina fells in love nearly at the two final arcs askjdfushdks.

As my personal opinion, It is worth reading for character like Paulina as MC who you can see her as her own because she is interesting. Not ony her personality is fun but (and in the novel is more present) how she thinks about the world as soldier, as woman or someone who does not know what to do as a foreign who only one person trusts until she becames trusted between his peers. Also I like it because it gave me the message that people who are jerks with you can learn to respect you sincerely but only If you show you're whort of respect as doing good your job; you can meet allies in unusual ways (the wives) or a rocking starts can develop in a beautiful friendship (Donau). Is fun but frustating but It makes you want more because how will you know how Pualina ends?!ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

Boy but he will not became the emperor, it will be his big sister Luminae (daugther of Rebecca) who becomes empress. Paulina nickname him 'Dog food'

Wut---
Why dog food XD
Is it literally Dog food or just means dog food XD

Well I do like Pauliana and how she changes the norms of females in the story. Personally, I would’ve enjoyed this story more if only there wasn’t a Romance tag so I don’t have to expect anything. But, maybe I could still watch along as the story progresses dunno~ (〜￣△￣)〜

I half agree, the romance tag confuse because Lucius is the only one (+ Donau and Aino) who was 'UWU's' and blushes until very late to the novel Paulina starts too after all the political and war problems. It reminds me a bit like danmei xd

Hope you don't drop the story! Paulina's life is fun to read ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Remember the awful cooking of Paulina who neither dogs could eat? It was call 'Dog food' in the war and for some reason she crave it a lot in her pregnacy, so she name him like this.

For...reasons, she will still call him like that after being born but his name will be Gerald (I suspect postpartum depression due to all the stress Paulina was in, she was very...cold to her son but eventually she becomes better. But, ugh, was sad to read how she feel about him).

Calling it shitty because it's slow burn is a stretch but we are entitled of our own opinion and my opinion towards this comment is that you're too impatient. I would have said something else but I don't want to come off as rude

Ohhhhhhh

Damn that's really sad...
Good thing she eventually gets better...
I'm really excited now cause I wanna see how their baby looks like XD

After reading “pauliana remembers riding him” I just can’t focus on the rest

Just like you said It’s my opinion, and imagining that development happening to me is what I meant by “shitty” cause I would never let something like that occur (getting preggy to someone who already has wives due to alcohol, giving birth secretly and telling the man only when the baby is born, the man suddenly confessing that he loves you when he had all the time in the past to do it but chose not to because he was a coward, and giving him a chance because you “saw” sincerity in his actions and then fall in love with him. Anyways, I know this is fiction and all but still for me its somehow sh*tty that’s all.

lmao you're treating the king like he's a 'normal' person when in reality and settings like this, having a bastard isn't even rare. And the king always wanted to tell her but she always makes it known that she likes serving him as a knight, which means she likes him as her superior. It's actually quite noble that he actually doesn't push his feelings towards her and let her live the life that she wanted without the constraints of knowing the king has feelings for her. That's not cowardice, that's respecting the person decisions and not being intrusive in somebody else's life because you want to put your feelings first. He actually knows that there's a power dynamic between him and her. It pretty much showed his past monologues and hers. She's going to take the feelings of the king in account because she's pregnant, being pregnant at that time and that was made out of wedlock would be a hard on her, like did you not even consider the environmental factors in the setting that they are in? Even if she grew up as a knight, she obviously has common sense, and now that she's pregnant with the king's child who would obviously prioritize her, is she just gonna throw that away? They obviously went past the stage of intimacy so it's not hard for her to give the king a chance especially it's good for the future of the baby. I still can't see how justified this 'shitty' thing in your perception, whether you like it or not, even if they're fiction, the author obviously thought out the complexicity of their characters and weighed the societal construct in the generation that they are in. It makes them a well-rounded characters because these 'shitty' aspects that you're trying to justify actually humanizes them. Slow burn novel, manga and manhwa prioritize treadful progression for the character and relationship and is heavily influenced by the environmental aspect. In my opinion, I still don't see the how everything you said is justified to call it shitty. So I heavily disagree with you.

“Noble that he actually doesn't push his feelings towards her and let her live the life that she wanted without the constraints of knowing the king has feelings for her. That's not cowardice, that's respecting the person decisions and not being intrusive in somebody else's life because you want to put your feelings first“? You call something like that Noble? If he really wanted to respect her feelings of respect towards him then he should’ve already gave up on his feelings. 10 years have already passed, he already has 3 wives and one’s pregnant and yet he still had the guts to be “possessive/in love” of someone who’s a “knight”. I don’t know about you and I don’t care if this manhwa is a slow burn and had a long development but what he did wasn’t right. He should’ve let his feelings toward Pauliana go and not dictate who she should and should not meet/marry like duh even if he was her master, what right does he have as a King who couldn’t even work out the courage to confess? Almost all characters in this story have matured and made families of their own since “10 years” have pass and only the King isn’t contented with his concubines and still wants to chase his Knight, its idiotic and sh*tty. So just like you, I strongly disagree with your point of view too and let’s just acknowledge that we’re never gonna agree on each of ours opinions. Done.
