This one also manages to show politics in a pretty straightforward (but surprisingly accurate) way too. So it's also a lot easier to read.
A lot of medieval manhwa with decent plots end up being TOO complex in the politics to the point that some readers actively look for spoilers to understand said politics (myself included).
Glad this one hasn't fallen into that pitfall after all these years.

I read multiple manhwas with politics included in the plot (lol like any historical/etc ones) but this one?? is really well written, well thought, and not just some random political filler arc like any other manhwas out there. i tend to skip manhwas once they reach the politics aspect because they don’t make sense or it’s mostly covering FMC vs RIVAL instead of THIS - this??? THIS IS WHAT MONARCH POLITICS SHOULD BE. this manhwa focuses on Tia and the fight with Angenas AND the romance is just the subplot which makes it way better because it does not overshadow BUT you can still tell it’s a focus too
