### Summary
The current chapter confirms that Count Childe committed suicide by jumping from the tower where Prince Linden's mother and sister died, directly following his confrontation with the prince. This act is overwhelmingly viewed by readers as a selfish and cowardly escape that wastes the life-saving surgery Elise performed and deliberately inflicts new trauma on Linden by forcing him to witness a third death at the same tragic location. The event plunges Linden into a state of profound emotional agony, triggering a breakdown as he struggles with the immense conflict between his desire for revenge and the burden of forgiveness. Elise attempts to comfort him, but her words are largely perceived by the audience as simplistic and naive, drawing criticism for failing to grasp the depth of his pain. Readers express immense frustration with Childe for this final act, condemning him for abandoning his children, Yulian and Albert, and for adding to the psychological torment of the protagonists, while also raising concerns that Linden could be framed for murder.
