### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from the divisive debut of a side couple to a new controversy that has readers questioning the protagonist's judgment. The plot now centers on an unnamed "pretty girl" who implores Euricienne to intervene and save the villainous Adelia from her death sentence. Euricienne's apparent willingness to consider the plea, framed as a comedic weakness for a pretty face in tears, has ignited a firestorm of criticism from the fanbase. Readers are overwhelmingly furious, denouncing the potential decision as naive, politically incompetent, and a betrayal of Euricienne's character development into a capable future empress. Many argue that Adelia's severe crimes—including demon summoning and multiple attempts on a royal's life—are unforgivable and cannot be compared to the lesser transgressions of previously pardoned characters like Lady Dwice. The request is seen as audacious, and Euricienne's hesitation is viewed not as empathy but as a frustratingly foolish trope that undermines royal authority. With the central romance between Euricienne and Caruel still unresolved and sidelined, this new development is perceived as nonsensical filler that dumbs down the female lead, leading to widespread frustration and threats from readers to drop the series entirely if the unrepentant antagonist is saved.
