Korean name: 황제와 여기사, Webtoon English name: Emperor and the Female Knight Description: After six years of pointless war between her country, the Kingdom of Ehas, and their neighbor enemies, the Kingdom of Cukda, aged 20, the woman soldier and former petty officer Pauliana Kellenbell has been defeated and captured in a storming attack by the army of another enemy nation, the Kingdom of Acrea. She has been desperately trying to survive in men's society, but it was all in vain, her noble birthright having been taken away by her family by being sent to war, and having all her efforts crushed down by the fact that she's a woman in the all-male army of Ehas. Acrea's young king, Lucius, sees her struggle and potential, and makes an unexpected offer. He dreams of becoming the first emperor to conquer the South continent and its sea. Pauliana swears a life-long allegiance to Lucius for acknowledging her, becoming his knight and most trusted advisor. However, in the end, Lucius is just an emperor on the battlefield that had awakened his love for Pauliana! I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THIS MASTERPIECE DIDN'T HAVE A SPOILER SECTION!! HOW?? Well anyways.. Any spoilers?? I heard that ML will have 3 wives but that just doesn't sound right (since he's so madly in love) Does anyone know if it's true or not??

Yeah id like to know the three wives things too.Polly deserves more than to be a concubine. Like she basically helped him conquer the continent and he goes around and gets three wives. I understand politics and treaties and all that but why he get her pregnant (if the spoiler is true) if he wasn't gonna commit. So disrespectful She was fighting against all the shit that was thrown at her just for being a woman but in the end, he has to keep her mouth shut and watch her husband/boyfriend/lover take more wives for the sake of the empire, like every other woman during that era. After everything she did for him
Spoiler: Major Spoiler So Luxor had 3 wives, 1 from each region :north,central,south. Pollyana became escort for the wives even befriended them. Luxor could only hide his feeling for Polly. When Polly hurt while proctecting his wife,he was in mess,poor him.Why didnt he confess? Because being a knight serving the emperor is Polly's greatest achievement and her identity she proud of.Rebecca ,one of Luxor wife told her if woman gonna lose family name when married.Polly didnt want to lose Winter name.So when she accidentally pregnant while drinking,with Luxor child in her belly,she escaped from palace.She gonna raised the child alone. Luxor only wanted Polly to be happy,free of her choice.When Luxor confessed his love,Polly feel betrayed.So Luxor changed the law about succession title for woman even after married. Beware of this spoiler
Spoiler: Answer they ended together.that's why Luxor changed the law for Polly's sake.Its rather feminist novel than romance novel
Spoiler: Uncorfirmed most likely yes.it is for the empire balance's sake. That's why the wives came from different region (to represent each region) My books is still on the way,just ordered them.
Thanks for the spoilers. I'll be honest. That ending isn't what i expected and might be one of the worst. It's too bad because the manwha is really great in itself. Ill just stop reading before the ending
Thanks for the spoiler! Why did she feel betrayed with his confession? Sounds like she didn't really like (love?) him as a man and just as the emperor
Please dont stop,but it's all up to you.in my opinion,Luxor is totally in love with Polly. One of Polly wishes is for the empire to prosper in his hand,so she accepted Luxor taking many wives even before Luxor confess to her.Luxor (imho) i think the one shoulder the burden to be the ideal one in Polly's mind
Yeah that mostly right.She portrayed Luxor as the emperor she could followed her whole life.She didnt want Luxor to abandon the empire for her sake only.
I can't believe he actually had 3 wives. Even for the sake of politics that's a bit.. Still, I won't abandon this story. I'll read till the end to see what happens for myself and then I can tell if it was a good ending or not. Thank you so much for the spoiler
Hey guys! After scouring the internet for any news about this novel, I have come up with literally nothing. Until today.. Hope some of you who have read it can enlighten us more. I am not too thrilled with what I've heard though.. 1.) The Emperor gets married to 3 different women before he got to get together with Pauliana. Most likely because of politics and the need for an heir to the throne. And also because Pauliana wouldn't accept the Emperor's feelings right away. (Knight's honor and all) 2.) Pauliana gets engaged to some other guy. Turns out he was a jerk and because she was heartbroken that it didn't work out, she ended up getting drunk with the Emperor. There, feelings were revealed and they ended up spending the night together. (This makes me question where in the world that cheeky Donau is? He seems to have developed feelings for her in the manhwa. Is the manhwa following the novel exactly as it is?) 3.) Pauliana became pregnant with the Emperor's child. And it was a prince! But lo and behold she decided to leave the palace before she even got to give birth. I have no idea why, I'm sure the novel explains it better. Hope someone enlightens us here. 4.) The other 3 wives didn't get the Emperor's love. It was clear to them that he only ever loved Pauliana. One was imprisoned, the other died through childbirth (dunno if the baby lived and was it really the Emperor's child? Please comment here), and the other one asked for a divorce (intelligent, I like her already). I really wish there was some more details to this. I'm so curious!
Why there's two thread here for same novel?https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/emperor-and-the-female-knight.99710/
Yeah, my bad. I didn't know there was already a thread for this. I kept searching recently and didn't see anything so I assumed there still isn't one before adding this. I can't find the delete thread option too. Wheww
