### Summary
Following the Emperor's shocking collapse, the narrative plunges into a high-stakes political crisis as Crown Prince Linden is publicly accused of poisoning his own father. This accusation is widely condemned as a baseless and illogical political maneuver, as Linden, whose succession was already secure with the Emperor's full support, had no discernible motive. The blame is instead directed at his half-brother, Michael, and the aristocratic faction, who are seen as exploiting the chaos to seize power. Readers express profound disappointment in Michael, viewing his complicity as a hypocritical repetition of the historical tragedy where his family framed Linden's mother. The event is seen as a deliberate frame-up, mirroring the deep-seated trauma that has fueled the brothers' conflict. The chapter escalates the tension dramatically with Linden's subsequent arrest, solidifying Michael's antagonistic role and pushing the empire to the brink of the prophesied civil war.
