- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
In its epilogue chapters, the manga has shifted to a lighter, more humorous tone, focusing on resolving character arcs and exploring new dynamics. Current reader discussion centers on Empress Cesia’s unconventional approach to selecting a successor, humorously theorized as her choosing a child from a "daycare" rather than through traditional lineage. A key point of debate is the character Ivy's hair color changing from blonde to brown; while some suspect an error, an insightful interpretation suggests it's deliberate visual storytelling, symbolizing female liberation as Ivy ceases to dye her hair to conform to imperial beauty standards. This thematic callback is accompanied by a major shift in romantic subplots, as a burgeoning "yuri" relationship between Empress Cesia and Princess Arsinoe is now passionately supported by a significant portion of the readership, overshadowing other pairings. These developments indicate the narrative is prioritizing thematic resolution and the futures of its supporting cast over the established central romance.
