### Summary
Following Count Childe's suicide, Prince Linden moves past his emotional breakdown, adopting a calculated and rational approach to justice. He convenes a meeting with the aristocratic faction and his half-brother, Michael, under the guise of a banquet. Instead of enacting violent revenge, Linden confronts the conspirators with documented evidence of their crimes, choosing a path of cold, methodical justice. This decision is interpreted by readers as a form of conditional mercy, influenced more by the memory of his mother than by Elise's recent, and widely criticized, attempts at comfort. While the aristocrats face arrest, Michael, who is viewed sympathetically as a pawn in his mother's schemes, is apparently sentenced to exile, dashing hopes for a future friendship with Elise. Elise herself is largely absent from these political proceedings, having attended the funeral while Linden settled the affair. The resolution is met with mixed reactions; while many praise Linden's level-headed leadership, others express dissatisfaction with the perceived leniency of the punishments, arguing that failing to eliminate the entire faction could endanger the throne in the future.
