### Summary
The narrative remains within a prolonged flashback detailing the shared history of Empress Cesia and Duke Aenon, revealing a pivotal moment in their past. This chapter showcases a young Aenon leading a small force of mercenaries to single-handedly overthrow his tyrannical father, presenting a chalice from the conquest to Cesia as a gift. This event clarifies the foundation of their unshakeable, sibling-like bond, confirming for readers that Cesia’s motives for training him were protective, not manipulative. While this backstory provides crucial context for their alliance and deepens their characterization, reader sentiment is increasingly divided. Many find the dynamic endearing, but a growing sense of fatigue is evident in commentary, with some labeling the arc "filler" and expressing impatience. This frustration stems from a strong desire to return to the present-day storyline, where the main protagonist, Yuri, remains imprisoned following the violent revelation of her true gender. The continued focus on Cesia and Aenon's past, while informative, is testing the patience of an audience eager for the central plot to resume.
