it´s a little different but i like this a lot https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hana_no_kishi/ the fl is very strong too

Your probably new to these kind of plot as to the fact that your confused at a lot of stuff XD
Spoiler but that pig is an asshole and he doesn't even deserve to be in the presence of paulina XD
Also the king doesn't have a choice...
Even tho he's the king he still needs to follow the rules and he also needs to act at their tradition and also he still can't fight back to those old nobles because he still need them to run his place properly.
As a king he needs to throw away his thoughts of being in a marriage of love cause 99.99% of the time they get married through arrange marriage which is decided by their parents or the nobles. They don't give a shit if you love someone cause what you need to marry is someone that can help you run a kingdom...

No I'm not really new to this type. But it just gets ssoooo frustrating! I wish they would "break the mold" more often. Especially when it's a made up world! It's hard to find ones that do. And there are few. Plus characters like Pauline are so awesome, everyone is simping for her, and everyone else is pretty much just a side character.(⌒;▽⌒) A character like her deserves to be in a completely unique manga that breaks the stereotypical mold!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I wish there was one That's similar to this one, but where the female knight's ml is completely loyal to her, and won't even bother to look at another woman!
Pauline deserves that!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I kinda wish she did end up with Sir Donau. I was so sad to see him rejected and he was pretty much forced into another marriage.
And the king pretty much gets on my nerves. If he likes her so much, how can he even be satisfied sleeping with other woman!?. That's not love, just infatuation to me. And he conquered so much, yet is powerless to marry the one he wants? ( ̄へ ̄)WTF!?
