Fair warning, I loathe the empress and the people like her so you might want to skip some, most or all of what I say in the following if you don't agree with that (most people seem to think the empress is great after all because she was 'merely testing' Shuli. Sorry, but that's the major reason why I LOATHE her). I love Theo because he's unlike his b**** stepmother. And I loathe the empress just like I loathe the priest, the priest's sick Mother Theresa like follower, Johannes and Ohara.

Actually , I really don't think shuli will have an husband but I think there is many candidates. So let's discuss this topic...
So in the beginning of the story the first contestant is Nora because his handsome and nice and quite influencial so maybe he can protect shuli in the future. Then the next is the prince (?) .. I don't really like the prince but he's kinda ok if he fix his way of thinking or something , I understand why he like shuli because shuli look like his mother but I don't know if it's enough. And the new arrival is the 7th prince Ali , so this time I really think this is the one because Ali is very handsome and very influencial and I think if he like shuli the way she is maybe he can protect her because his a prince of another powerful kingdom and maybe he can protect shuli from all dangers especially from the prince . But I'm quite hesitant because he have a sister complex vibe in him or maybe I'm just overthinking . OR maybe shuli can be together to that princess and make this a even more complicated story hahaha joke . So that is what I think , how about you ? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
