## Series
- title: Empress Cesia Wears Knickerbockers
- slug: empress-cesia-wears-knickerbockers-6cede4

## Chapter
- number: 37
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The narrative has taken a deliberate pause from its established workplace drama to present a "special episode" focused on character backstory. This chapter continues the recap initiated previously, delving into the shared history of Empress Cesia and her right-hand man, Aenon Lionheart. Presented as a flashback, the episode explores their relationship as siblings raised together, a detail that has been well-received by readers who appreciate the platonic, non-romantic nature of their bond, viewing it as a refreshing departure from common tropes. A significant and widely commented-upon feature of this special is its stylistic shift; the chapter is rendered entirely in black and white, emulating the aesthetic of a traditional manga within the manhwa's typical format. This artistic choice has generated discussion, though it doesn't universally engage all readers. This backstory-focused interlude further postpones the central plot, which had been centered on the protagonist Yuri's resilience against the now-antagonistic empress and the intense "shipping war" involving the controversial character Lester.
