It may seem rushed I'm Riftans part but.. imagine you just get home from battle, found people try to invade your house and your wife is in the middle of the confusion... Riftan wants to protect her BUT if he was a bit later, he may have encountered a fight at his doorstep... Anyone would be angry... :)

I wish Pauliana ended with another guy.
Just to have a different ending. I don't hate Lucius but if this story ended with her being just a successful woman, having a happy life, married or alone, far from Lucius, I would appreciate this story way more .. ;)
Well, if Pauliana ends happy I'm happy too.

This is the only story I've ever read in which the misunderstandings and bad situations can possibly happen in real life. The duke are trying his best, and she is too. The situations happening here are a mix of lack of communication and timing.
Even if Ercela talked with the duke, at that time, he wouldn't have done much, since he was a busy (plus still young) and she herself had no awareness of what she was feeling or what she needed.
She was forced to grow up, and was overwhelmed with sad situations, while being pregnant. Is too much for a 17-18y.o(?) girl.
My point is, in Ercella's or the Duke's shoes anyone could make the same mistakes easily.
At that time, arranged marriage was normal, and I believe the duke has done the best he could with the knowledge he had at the time..
