I mean she literally said she wanted a wife, someone to have kids with that she herself wouldn't birth (again implying a wife), who would be a place to return to and would support her as a knight (which women do for their husbands in acrea) and as she said all this it ends by showing Tori (the new girl) which is basic foreshadowing saying "Hey we got your girl right here". Plus Tori doesn't seem to want to marry Lucius, it seems like she has to go along with her uncles plans since he recently brought her into the main family (so he's kinda blackmailing her in a way). Tori is only at the castle to catch Lucius's eye, and when that scene ended it said that the two of them (Paul and Tori) were thinking of thing that they could never obtain IN ACREA which I'm pretty positive is implying towards the strict customs surrounding what women can and cannot do in acrea, that they CAN do in the other countries that no longer exist (just like how Pauliana became a knight in her country, it was frowned upon but still allowed). (though in tori's case it could be that she could never get the emperor but from her facial expressions and reactions, it seems like she doesn't want him anyway meaning she wants something else (and the opposite of a man is...ya know, a woman sooo)... I know that the title could imply she ends up with Lucius and seems to, but it could also imply that she stays he's knight, and with how she has shown ZERO interest in him romantically 64 chapters in.... I gonna go with knight forever baby~ also that fact that she thought about having a wife before ever showing romantic interest in a man definitely shows preferences. Sooo in conclusion LESBIANS BABY!!!!!!
I’ll say it it again since I guess you skipped over it twice but she said that she wanted a WIFE, someone to GIVE BIRTH TO AN HEIR, to support her as a knight....aka a woman, that is literally what she said. I’ll be honest I thought the same thing until she said that rest of it but I think it’s pretty obvious when you look at everything she said
