## Chapter
- number: 175
- release_date: 2025-03-07

### Summary
Following a significant tonal shift from romantic comedy to a serious military conflict, the narrative centers on a siege led by the overwhelmingly powerful and smug human King, Axel. His dominance in the previous chapter generated significant reader frustration, with fans expressing a strong desire to see the central couple, Malori and Velverosa, defeat him. This sentiment was compounded by criticism that Queen Velverosa's established power is often undermined in crucial moments, reinforcing the hope that the main duo, not a secondary character, would be the ultimate heroes. However, the current chapter dramatically subverts this expectation. Reader reactions are now singularly focused on the secondary character Cerik, who is being hailed as the "real MVP." The overwhelmingly positive and celebratory comments suggest Cerik has performed a major, decisive, and potentially self-sacrificial heroic act, effectively stealing the spotlight and becoming the central figure in the confrontation against Axel.
