You're welcome! ヾ(☆▽☆) I'm glad that I have inspired someone to read the novel too because of my opinions and spoilers. Hehe. Thank youuu! Let's support Lucius and Paul until the end~ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
If you want to read the novel, here is the link:

Haha no worries ;) oh but based from some spoilers before, they will have their own son who will really look like Lucius XD So excited when that actually happens and what will the reactions of people be (for example, Aino, I can guess he will say it's unbelievable and that thankfully the child looks like Lucius hahahah)
ok after reading this spoilers.. i feel better and excited.. I dont really hare Lucius for marrying 3 wives.. but will he have children with them too? or he didn't have sex with any of them?.. I am very open-minded when it comes to concubine "thing" since for this timeline it is normal and a must to have them.. but I still can't accept someone who claims "I love You" but would be ok with having sex with another person because its a duty.. well its my own opinion so.. i dont know.. I'll know how I'll feel for lucuis when I'll know what really will happen in their future
I also feel that way at first- I also believe that when you love someone, it feels so wrong (on many aspects) to also have a physical relationship with others.
And I almost dropped this manhwa when I heard spoilers about that before :((
But since I love Pauliana and Lucius, I tried to be patient and see if the story will get better later on haha. And the novel did not disappoint uuus (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Although we don't like it, we have no choice but to understand the setting/rules during their time and ignore it somehow cos we really want to see Paul and Lucius togetheeer. ( T﹏T )
Yes, Lucius, of course will need to have sex with the concubines out of his duty as an emperor (he will only have a daughter with 1 of the concubines and the other 2 will not get pregnant). And I think it was mentioned before that Lucius is already an "experienced" man even before getting married. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Oh well, that's the harsh reality in this. But at leaaast, at the end, we can expect all the good things between the Paul and Lucius ヾ(☆▽☆)
Yeeees, they wil have a son but he will not be the heir. Lucius will change the rules about women and her daughter will be his heir (the son will support his sister). Buuut, having the son will also be one of the reasons why Paul will be the only Empress of Lucius! (These are based from the previous spoilers here ;) )
About the Novel and Some Spoilers Ahead
(Do not read if you do not want to be spoiled!!!)
Overall, I like how the story is going in the novel. When I heard some spoilers before, I almost stopped reading the manhwa cos my ship (Lucius x Paul) seems like it will not happen soon and there are many people involved first before they can be together. I was disappointed too.
But! The author, I think personally did a great job with this story! (Thank you so much also to all who is working on this one, I love you aaalll!!!)
I find the story to be a realistic and sweet one. You will be annoyed at times but you will really stay until the end to see how Lucius and Paul will love each other eventually (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
So I was so curious about the novel (cos it seems like the manhwa is also going on the same direction). I have read it until the latest Chap- 263 and here are my opinionsa and some spoilers:
1. Lucius having 3 wives is not so bad as it looks like.
First, the marriage to the 3 ladies was only political and no love involved. More like a business matter especially during the time setting. And Pauliana had a good relationship with all the 3 wives! You can really tell that the relationship between the wives and Paul is so good- they were best friend and friends. The ladies were not bitches and they were all loyal to the emperor until the end. You will also feel sorry for the unlucky fates of the 3 ladies but those are really needed so that Lucius and Paul's relationship will move forward.
2. Flaou (or Frau) who will be Paul's gold-digger fiance is also not so bad (like the traitor elder) but he will really annoooy you especially when Paul discovered his secret!
I am not siding with Frau, okay? Just that I expected a super villain fiance (like who plans to kill Paul as soon as they are married or set her up for a false crime) but what we got here is only a supeeer selfish and stupid man. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)
Why? Although he admitted to Paul that he will marry her for her wealth (yeah Paul knew it and she liked his honesty on that), he did not disclose that he had a son with his dead ex wife who was his servant before and who he really truly loved. He decided to marry Paul so that his bastard son could be the next Marquis Winter when Paul dies in the future.
You may see him as a father who only wants the best for his son but well, he did it wrongly. Lucius and those who really care for Paul were so angry with frau that they wanted him to die.
Oh but dont worry, when Paul discovered the secret, he punished Frau by cutting his genitals (tho it seemed so brutal) but you can understand that Paul was really hurt cos she was starting to like Frau more and was really excited with their wedding. She really wanted a family with him ( T__T )
3. Lucius is reaaaaally in love with Paul! He is so consistent with his love, and he is a wise and good emperor. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
A. Although he married his 3 wives for political reasons, he really respected them and tried to be the best husband for them although he did not love them. He was not a lecherous emperor.
B. Although he loves Paul, he did not impose his feelings to her cos he knows that he has responsibilities to others as an emperor, and he cares for Paul's feelings. He did not want to force Paul to something she did not want. He was also supportive to Paul's marriage although he was really hurting and jealous.
AND SOOO, the next chapters in the novel will now focus on Lucius and Paul so I am really excited how will the events take placeeee! I think the unexpected accident that will also help Lucius and Paul's love story will happen soooon!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
And that's all. Thank you for reading my not so short opinions and spoilers ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ hahaha
