Just got back from my once every year re-reading of the novel… I never actually finished the side stories until now coz I always got stuck on this one boring part of the side story but I made it through this time and I cried my eyes out I just needed to have that known.
Also if u want any spoilers I’m a Lucia encyclopaedia at this point ask away.

They end up having a girl that looks just like Lucia’s mother, they call her Evangeline. They don’t have too much angst left, just like Lucia did the proposing she will also do the confessing coz Hugo’s a coward like that but they will be all sappy and all over each other Yipee, and they also have a beautiful heart to heart about each others painful experiences

Also like extreme spoilers read at ur own expense because it had me sobbing
In the first timeline where Lucia couldn’t remember herself growing old, turns out Hugo and her met when they were much older and get married and grow old together in the end in a rural cottage, so either timeline they found a way to be together

In the original timeline Damien dies at like 18 I think… he leads a life not knowing ambition or love from anyone and after he graduates (still hasn’t seen his “dad” Hugo once since he was first enrolled in boarding school) he goes to the barbarian boarder as a knight to help fight them and he whitenesses a barbarian father and daughter who died trying to protect one another, he feels sick inside and storms off on his horse alone into the forest (followed by two guards soon after) and they are ambushed and killed in the forest, I don’t think Damien even put up a fight… it had me sobbing as well highly recommend the novel
