The Knight and Her Emperor, Volume 3

The continental conquest is finally over, but a different kind of war is just beginning . . . This slow-burn romantasy manhwa adaptation of G.M.'s hit webnovel continues in this third volume.

After ten long years of battle, Luxos I has finally achieved his lifelong goal of becoming the emperor of the entire continent. But the thrill of victory is not the only emotion filling his heart—he’s stunned to find himself falling for his faithful knight Pollyanna.

As the army makes their triumphant return to Acrea, Luxos faces mounting pressure from the nobles to find a wife, yet he cannot ignore his budding feelings for Pollyanna. Meanwhile, Pollyanna is completely oblivious as she ponders her own precarious status as a woman in the new empire. Can she stay by the emperor’s side as his loyal knight, or will imperial politics—and Luxos’s affection for her—change their relationship forever?

Volume 3 collects episodes 39–58 of the webcomic The Knight and Her Emperor.
