### Summary
The latest chapter has created a significant tonal whiplash for readers, abruptly returning to comedy after the profoundly tragic flashback detailing the history of the wedding rings. While the audience is still reeling from the heartbreaking story of the former empress and her wizard lover, with many expressing deep sorrow, protagonists Caruel and Euricienne have comically misinterpreted the moment. Their immediate pivot back to their own schemes to end the engagement has amused a large portion of the fanbase, who continue to champion their chemistry and urge them to fall in love. However, this shift has also drawn criticism, as some readers find it a weak plot device that Euricienne would abandon her goal simply after hearing a sad story, viewing it as inconsistent with her character. Amid the comedic relief, speculation about the main antagonist remains a hot topic, with the dominant theory suggesting the black-magic-wielding villain is the resurrected or vengeful wizard from the tragic backstory.
