## Chapter
- number: 73
- release_date: 2025-03-09

### Summary
The narrative centers on the antagonist Yuliana’s attempt to execute a magical curse against Cecile. In a move widely condemned by readers as foolish, Yuliana deviates from the spell's instructions by adding a black rabbit plushie that resembles Emperor Estian. This improvisation has led to unanimous speculation that the curse will backfire, intensifying reader frustration with a villain they now label a persistent "cockroach" who refuses to accept defeat. While this scheme unfolds, fan engagement has overwhelmingly shifted to the burgeoning romance between the dragon, Girgantia, and the lady-in-waiting, Tanya. Their dynamic, now a fan-favorite "ship," continues to dominate the chapter with comedic and shoujo-style moments following Girgantia's popular human-form reveal. The focus on this new power couple has effectively sidelined the main protagonists, with many readers admitting they are more invested in the side romance than the central plot involving Cecile and Estian. The chapter's reception is thus defined by a combination of extreme annoyance with the antagonist's self-sabotaging scheme and immense enthusiasm for the new romantic subplot.
