Chapter 80 - Tired of the comments about who is better for Vlad, so I looked up the Romance End Game

“For those wondering if Vlad ends up with Alicia or Zemina/Jemina... It is implied in the end through a prophecy (a doodle from the elf priestess) that Vlad and Zemina will eventually have a kid. The love triangle is just an illusion… Alicia does like him and tries to poach him from Bayezid a few times, but he only really ever acts like her knight or friend. It's repeated all throughout the novel that Vlad grounds himself by the fact that his adventures began when his unadorned sword was bought from an old blacksmith by the tears of a red-haired girl

They do end up together, but this isnt a romance genre so the focus really isnt about how they get there. It was just the natural order of things. Alicia wasnt even really an option for Vlad, but he was aware of both girls' feelings. There was a part where Vlad had to leave Soara, and he asked Zemina to give him her handkerchief. So we know the implications of that. Both girls also meet sometime in the middle of the novel, Alicia visited Soara for something(?) and Vlad wasnt there yet, so Zemina entertained her as a guest of the inn.”
