She can stay single and just focus on the children. I'd prefer that

Agreed! She should just keep up the girlbossing

The Queen would be fine just by herself without men as long as she's with the children

No seriously! I'm so much more interested in her dynamics with the kids and protecting them while trying to fix the wrongs of her old life

love love looooove her with the kids i love every single interaction they have cus you can just feel so much love emanating from it. the romance can come, sure if thats what the author wants, but i hope it doesnt take her away too much from her moment with her kids

yes!! I do want the romance to make perfect sense though I may get a bit miffed hahah

truthfully im not totally against the romance due to personal reasons 1) the story will be *extended* due to subplots and i love that for me lmao i love this book sm 2) at some point the kids are gonna grow up (hopefully the book covers that) and they're gonna have their own thing=lives which means they're not always gonna be together with our best girl so giving her a romance could be the next best thing to do for her character after of course the main plot which is something that concerns the current emperor. and by "next best thing for her character" i mean im interested to see how shes gonna be able to navigate her emotions with a romance taking place cus it seems like shes never really fallen in love before lol granted the thing she has with the emperor isnt explored yet but the impression im getting from it is like it's just infatuation at best, if not a strict business like relationship..

i may not be against the romance but i prefer it to appear much later that it doesn't interfere with whats going on rn in the book bc everything is perfect rn i hope it focuses on the family side of the story more at least until they've fully grown up before any romance (￣∇￣")

Agree. I would be fine with that too.
