### Summary
Following a brief and cherished period of happiness, the narrative has taken a devastating turn with the violent death of Duke Julian Raenal. This tragic event confirms the mechanics of the central curse originating from his mother's enchanted peach tree, which dictates that the person most loved by the fruit's consumer is doomed to die. Reader analysis indicates the curse was activated not by Leah consuming an entire peach, but by a seemingly insignificant act: licking a small amount of the fruit's juice from Julian's hand. The shocking development has plunged the readership into despair, with commentary expressing profound heartbreak and frustration over the couple's inability to escape their tragic cycle. Julian's death serves as the devastating fulfillment of the previous chapter's tension, resetting their timeline and once again shattering any hope for a lasting peace. As the story reportedly nears its conclusion, this climax leaves the couple's fate hanging in the balance, with no clear solution to breaking the perpetual loop of love and death.
