I love how they are slowly becoming true friends, they spend all day together, they play chess together, they tease each other! I love it! (also, I love Pauliana in that armor, those thigh high boots? with the cinched waist? ugh love that for us)
If we didnt already know that the king falls for Paulina in 20 years since the beginning (what is that, in another 5 years?), I would be 10000% down for a platonic friendship between them. But, knowing that that is what happens... this isn't so bad either. Best friends to lovers is nice if done well
very nice. like what the others are saying, a platonic friendship is good, but i think it's good to see that it's going to be a enemy(?)->ally->friend->close friend->lover thing. the whole spectrum if you think about it
you know, in my country if a lizard, especially a gecko fall to your head mean bad luck often make you dead/almost dead...
hope that not happening here...
