Also I heard that in the novel during their first meeting he asked for her to be raped then killed.
That's true. In the original the prince ML is more of a misogynistic playboy.
Yeah I honestly can't see anyone falling in love with someone who wanted them to get raped but idk ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I wish she would not end up with the blond prince, to be more self-aware + unapologetic, to shit more on the sexist males around her, doesn't care about the medieval rules about being a woman, able to create her own little kingdom of female warriors or mercernaries etc...
I know that Pauliana is a very modest humble strong character who only wants to survive but she lets herself to be bound to a status quo.
And anyone who complaints that would be too unrealistic...

The female badass MCs in "Light & Shadow", "The Lady and The Beast" AND "Kingdom Of The Queen" wanted and were able to change things around them.
Pauliana on the other hand is just following loyally the most desirable emperor and in the end only because he fell in love with her, got her accidently pregnant during a drunk night and missed her dearly when she left his castle for good that he came up the law a woman can inherit the duke title.
