### Summary
The dramatic arrival of the white-haired man is confirmed to be Eden, the Legendary Wizard, whose introduction immediately pivots into a tragic flashback. This chapter reveals that Eden was rescued and mentored as a child by the 2nd Empress's true lover—a noble mage who created the powerful demon-slaying magic. Readers were deeply moved by the revelation that this heroic mage died before he could reunite with the empress, a twist that definitively debunks widespread theories that he had become the blue-haired antagonist. The confirmation of his death has only intensified the mystery surrounding the villain, who bears a striking resemblance to him, sparking new speculation about a potential twin or a corrupted apprentice. Amidst the confusing lore, the central romance takes a painful turn. Caruel's deepening feelings for Euricienne are thrown into sharp relief when she reaffirms her desire to return "home," leaving him visibly heartbroken in the final panels. The community is now navigating emotional whiplash, mourning the tragic side-story while lamenting Caruel's unrequited love and eagerly theorizing about the true villain's identity.
