Wait whaaaaat, so the first person we see in anime is her love interest??? (⊙…⊙ ) Also I didn't know that the anime was about this story at first so it was pretty shocking to see a kid drinking wine and some old dude going in her head without consent like wtf is happening ( ̄∇ ̄") thanks for letting us know

Its not really a love interest, more like a marriage of convenience. They didn't get married because they are in love with each other. I think he even asked her if she didn't want to find someone else to marry, someone who she will love and love her back. She didn't want that (Why?? ╥﹏╥) Although this story contains 0 romance is still a good read. I also wished for her to have a better ending but with the settings of this manga, including the year it takes place. Children marrying adults wasn't frowned upon. The guy is 29/30 yrs old not 40. But ether way its still horrible.
(I also read some spoilers, but i don't know how accurate it is)

ah shet i'm dropping this.

ha? if its for convenience then why Maine tried to save him on other country and and conquered that place just to become her fiance? why did 2 of their attendants PoV stated their longing for each other? Why Maine decline Ferdinand offer for her to return as a commoner? He ask her many times if she wants it being engage to him...

Didnt you read the comment on the bottom which states i dont know how accurate my information is since i only read some spoilers??? lol The whole marriage of convenience statement was posted by a reader in a different website. Months later i still dont know what happens, since i haven't read the novel yet. Feel free to fix the information if its wrong.

replying for above, if you only read spoiler
Spoiler territory
coz they don't see each other for 2 yrs before the end so, there is longing between them... Ferdi have to go to another country to be engage (political)...Meanwhile Maine is already on her 2nd engagement... Maine and Ferdi exchange letters and gift during that span... Also something like the plot from full metal alchemist (mana stones) kinda happened near the end... I'm just stating how I understand the webnovel take note that part 5 of the light novel isn't finished for tankbon edition...
So it’ve been reading this for almost 3 years. I’m very excited for the anime and had a lot of questions. Therefore, as the impatient person I am, I sought spoilers.
So she ends up with a with a 40 year guy while she’s like 14. Ferdinand is a very handsome fellow, but FOURTY?!?! I understand that at 14 Myne would mentally be in her 30s but her body is at that of a child’s and she also underdeveloped. I just always thought she’d end up with Lutz.
