### Summary
The narrative has sharply deviated from the central romance between Euricienne and Caruel, which was left unresolved after a painful misunderstanding, to focus on a deeply unpopular subplot concerning the villain Adelia's impending execution. In an attempt to evoke sympathy, the story has introduced a tragic backstory for Adelia, framing her as a victim of a difficult childhood. This narrative choice has been met with overwhelming backlash from the fanbase, who vehemently reject the "sob story" as a poor justification for her severe crimes, including demon summoning and multiple attempts on Euricienne's life. Readers are expressing immense frustration with the stalled progression of the main couple's relationship, which had just evolved from a divorce pact into a genuine partnership. Euricienne's hesitation to proceed with the execution is widely perceived as a frustrating character regression into a naive trope, undermining her development as a capable future empress. The fan commentary reflects widespread disappointment, with many criticizing the arc as nonsensical filler that dumbs down the protagonist and loses focus on the core plot. The sentiment is so negative that many readers are threatening to drop the series, feeling that a potential light punishment like exile for the unrepentant antagonist is a ridiculous and unsatisfying development.
