### Summary
Following Selina's decision to remain in Iklein, the narrative pivots from emotional resolution to audacious political strategy. Calcion, once a stoic and terrible actor, reveals himself as a master planner by leveraging their fugitive status into a bid for power. The previous chapter's surreal "goddess" moment is shown to be a deliberate, theatrical ploy to establish a new identity and legitimacy for Selina. This scheme escalates dramatically as Calcion proposes a radical solution to their conflict with the Crown Prince: he will declare the North's independence and make Selina its Queen. This act of secession is presented as both a marriage proposal and a declaration of war, a move celebrated by readers as the ultimate romantic gesture. The chapter balances this high-stakes political maneuvering with comedic elements, including the taming of a demonic beast and the shocked reactions of their allies. While a minority of readers find the "goddess" plot absurd or still hope for a return to the modern world, the overwhelming response praises Calcion's devotion and the couple's "unserious" yet effective con-artistry in building their own kingdom. The central conflict has now transformed from a fight for survival into a campaign for sovereignty, cementing their partnership through a unique combination of treason, romance, and theatricality.
