### Summary
The celebrated reunion of Caruel and Euricienne after a five-year separation is immediately overshadowed by the dramatic introduction of a formidable new antagonist. Fan speculation from the previous chapter is confirmed as Zeldia, the long-mentioned but previously unseen rival empress candidate, makes her brutal debut. Publicly praised by misguided nobles as the "pinnacle of nobility and benevolence," Zeldia is privately revealed to be a ruthless and psychotic black mage, earning instant and universal scorn from readers for her cruelty. This creates a tense political climate, with Zeldia's supporters spreading false narratives that Euricienne "lost the succession battle," ignoring her five years of service as regent. While the new villain schemes, support for the main couple remains strong within the palace, with even the King and Caruel's aide "shipping" their romance. The chapter culminates in a cliffhanger as another character, Luze, arrives to heroically intervene against Zeldia's villainy, leaving readers to anxiously await the fallout of this new, dangerous confrontation that has violently interrupted the protagonists' hard-won reconciliation.
