He asked her to give him the chance to woo her for a year. She accepted it because she wanted to ask a favor to investigate the scumbag that Pol was going to marry (hahahaha, he got his love because of Pol) because she was so worried about Pol.
It's a good thing that she fell in love too. They're a very sweet couple
LOL, then a reminder isn't what you need. It's a spoiler.
Rebecca is Lucius' (the Emperor) wife. Lucius married 3 women. One from each part of the continent. They're from the Southern, Central and Northern territories. It is so that he can unite the whole continent.
He is still in love with Pauliana though. BUT he can't confess because Pol only sees him as her ruler. She doesn't have romantic feelings for him as of the moment.
okay tbh I haven’t read the novel and this is just the spoiler I’ve read and dug up on the comment section so some of it may be inaccurate
So technically rebecca dies and her baby was delivered it’s a girl
paulina gets sad and depressed and she got engaged w/ some dude(idk who lol I’m sorry) and something bad happened
then after she and the emperor got drunk and slept together for pregnant and she ran away and gave birth to their son
the emperor found them and insisted and took them in,,
and like i think they ended together like married and paulina is still a knight/marquess her title couldn’t be taken away cause the emperor made some changes w the law
now Paulina insisted on having his daughter (rebeccas kid the one who died) the next heir bc she was suited and she’d become the first empress/ female ruler
and her son became a knight and was on par w/ his position as his mom?(paulina) and is loyal to the throne/empress/sister
