### Summary
The narrative has reached a fever pitch following Empress Cesia’s marriage proposal to the disguised Yuri, culminating in a dramatic cliffhanger that has left readers highly emotional and anxious. While the established romance between Yuri and Duke Aenon remains the fan-preferred relationship, Cesia’s heartfelt and sincere confession has unexpectedly generated immense sympathy, making her "doomed proposal" feel melancholy and fueling fan support for a same-sex "yuri" romance. The chapter's central revelation, however, is that the shrewd Countess Alexa has been aware of Yuri's true gender all along. This reveal has solidified the Countess as a fan-favorite, with readers celebrating her as a "badass" and a "queen" whose wisdom and lived experience allowed her to see what others missed. Her past actions are now reinterpreted as subtle attempts to protect Yuri from the Empress's advances. The chapter concludes on a tense note as the Countess advises Yuri to "Start running," leaving the audience desperate for the next installment where Yuri's identity and her relationship with Aenon are expected to be explosively revealed.
