What was the novel end?
As I said, the ending of the novel is more realistic.
The protagonists go to live in that land that his father had already promised them.
Together they make the land VERY PROSPEROUS, to the point of no longer needing anything from the empire.
Lise goes crazy and tries to seduce the prince, and commits a bunch of more crimes, resulting in her being sentenced to death, but Edith interferes and asks for her to be sent to the convent.
In the convent she is tortured for the rest of her life.
Lise's ex-husband becomes the duke since he is the older brother. He regrets everything, asks Edith for forgiveness and thinks about leaving the duchy to his brother, but he and Edith refuse since their new land is worth MUCH MORE. Their new land is almost a principality.
The brother ends up marrying another woman, whom he does not love but respects a lot.
Here comes more extras where Edith finds a lost child etc.
Extra about the children and a happy ending
Aaaa I had forgotten about the secretary with glasses, he had stayed with the duchy, but Lise made his life hell so he goes to live with Edith and Killian in the North and he has an affair with the maid who is Edith's friend
Basically Edith doesn't forgive the people of the empire and manages to live a much happier life away from these people.
WTH! I like this ending better! I was wondering what happened to the land they were gonna live on originally
This change is good.
But the end of the novel was more REALISTIC.
This change made it feel like a disney movie.
