the empress does end up with him based on how the novel. Homegirl was planning on leaving him after stepping down as Empress but I think that out of sympathy she stayed with him. Because she might have loved him but I don’t really think she was in love with him and vise versa, lowkey their relationship is toxic
I was enjoying it but now I just feel bored, might DNF for now and come back to it later lol. def team Prince but I know Amond is most likely the ml
