### Summary
The narrative has reached a dramatic climax with Empress Cesia proposing marriage to Yuri, who she believes is a man. This long-anticipated confrontation has thrown the central love triangle into chaos, creating immense dramatic irony and tension. While the Empress’s persistent pursuit was previously a source of reader anxiety, her genuine confession—stating she wants Yuri by her side even without an heir—has unexpectedly generated significant sympathy and fueled a fan desire for a same-sex "yuri" romance. However, this development directly conflicts with the established primary relationship between Yuri and the Empress’s brother, Duke Aenon, which the audience overwhelmingly supports as a healthy "green flag" dynamic. Readers are now reacting with a mix of comedic delight at the supremely awkward situation and pity for the inevitably heartbroken Empress. The central conflict has shifted entirely to how Yuri will navigate this proposal, with the community eagerly awaiting the moment she must reveal both her true gender and her relationship with Aenon, a revelation expected to trigger a dramatic and entertaining fallout.
