### Summary
This chapter delves into Bayan's profound internal struggle, highlighting her resilience and complex emotional state. Readers widely praise her as a strong, multi-dimensional heroine who maintains a brave facade while privately grappling with the unprocessed grief of her mother's death. The tension with the Black Wraiths continues, as their treasonous devotion to Bayan's safety persists, with characters like Ga-Yerang nearly being discovered in their protective efforts. Despite high anticipation, the official meeting between Bayan and Emperor Dhan is further delayed, a point of frustration for readers invested in the slow-burn plot. Meanwhile, opinions on Dhan remain divided; while some find him handsome, others are repulsed by his reputation as a "serial killer" who knowingly murders innocent women. The chapter builds to a powerful and poignant climax, culminating in a final panel where Bayan, having found a moment of solitude, finally allows herself to be vulnerable, thinking, "Now I can finally cry in peace."
