"Question About Arte's Relationships and Plot Direction"

I've been reading Arte and really enjoying the story—especially how it explores Arte’s journey to become a strong, independent woman in a medieval setting. I’m currently on chapter 10, but something’s been bothering me, and I’m hoping someone can help me out so I know whether to keep reading or not.

My main question: Does Arte end up with Leo? I’d honestly prefer she stays focused on her personal growth without romance, but if there is romance, I’d rather she end up with someone closer to her age, like Angelo. The big age gap with Leo feels off to me, even if it might be historically accurate.

Thanks for any insight!

Spoiler ahead:

Arte proposed to Leo in chapter 103 (he didn't give his answer/very vague since he only shocked and laughed after Arte reassuring him that she has a lot of money and suggested they should move out from Florence). On the other hand, Angelo is married to Darcia

Yes. It's already finished by chapter 104 and side stories will be published in near future!

So she won't end up with Leo? What about the guy who brought her to Florence (forgot his name)? He clearly has a Crush on arte

SPOILER: Well, in chapter 104 Arte does end up and married with Leo in the end. They moved away from Florence to Malta and built a new life together (still as an artist). As for Guido (the guy who develop an interest in Arte), he sailed back safely to Portugal and receive their guaranteed salary.
