### Summary
The current chapter focuses on the emotional and bittersweet farewell between Prince Linden and his half-brother, Michael, as Michael departs for his sentenced exile. The scene emphasizes a reconciliation of their personal bond, with readers celebrating the mature and "healthy brother relationship" that survived their political conflict. Linden's character is highlighted as he displays a "tsundere" demeanor, even blushing, yet maintains a cold, strategic edge by giving Michael a coded invitation to return only after the death of his mother, Queen Marianne. This resolution has created a sharp divide among the readership. Many are moved by the heartwarming, non-violent conclusion, praising Linden's growth and the amicable end to the brothers' strife. However, a significant portion of readers express dissatisfaction, viewing the outcome as anticlimactic, unjust, and dangerously lenient. These critics argue that forgiving the conspirators makes Linden appear weak and that the lack of severe punishment for the aristocrats dishonors his family's memory and invites future rebellion. As the series appears to be concluding, this mixed reception is compounded by reader questions about several unresolved plot points, such as the fate of the Emperor and the nature of Elise's original crime.
