### Summary
The narrative continues its extended flashback into the shared past of Empress Cesia and Duke Aenon, introducing a new antagonistic figure—a "crusty old man" whom readers identify as Abissa. This character is presented as a political threat, seemingly coveting the young Cesia's power and land, which has elicited strong negative reactions from the audience. Despite this new conflict, reader commentary continues to celebrate Cesia's "badass" characterization from a young age and the wholesome, strictly platonic sibling bond she shares with Aenon, which they find endearing. However, a sense of fatigue is emerging, with some readers growing impatient with the prolonged backstory, labeling it "filler" and expressing a desire to return to the present-day plot involving Yuri. While the flashback deepens the audience's understanding of Cesia and Aenon's unshakeable alliance, it simultaneously tests the patience of those eager for the main storyline to resume.
