Oh don't get me wrong, it's a happily-ever-after ending for ML Ethelred and Maribelle. The artstyle and plots made the story felt very poignant to the point where happiness are rarely felt. Sorrow lasted longer within each chapter. For the emperor to have his happy ever after with Maribelle, countless people have to go extinct, including the last blood relatives. Quite tragic for a nation really. I had actually harboured hope that Marquiss Xavier Rodane (which I thought was also an Edenbarre but did not share the same surname) actually followed a slightly different route, but I guess, the author wanted jealousy to be his route. At the end of the story, all I'm feeling is just sadness.
