### Summary
Continuing the narrative's pause on the present-day plot, this chapter delves into another flashback, this time detailing the shared childhood of Empress Cesia and Duke Aenon. Despite reader impatience with the previous chapter's backstory, this installment was met with overwhelmingly positive reception, with many praising it as excellent characterization. The comments celebrate Cesia as a powerful, wise, and "badass" ruler, even from a young age, highlighting her strength in leading wars and raising Aenon after adopting him as an infant. A central theme lauded by readers is the wholesome and strictly platonic sibling bond between Cesia and Aenon, which is seen as a refreshing departure from common tropes. Readers found their dynamic, built on mutual support as "babies taking care of babies," to be endearing and crucial to their development. Specific moments, such as a comically questionable soup containing a button mistaken for an acorn, were noted, but the overarching sentiment was deep admiration for Cesia's character. She is praised for defying a potential "self-fulfilling prophecy" by raising Aenon to be a good man, reinforcing the theme that one is not defined by their lineage. Overall, the chapter is viewed as a powerful showcase of a strong female character and a well-written sibling relationship.
