### Summary
The latest chapter concludes on a tense cliffhanger, sparking widespread anxiety about the fate of the male lead, Zachary. Having recently gone to war against the antagonist Prince Jacob alongside his new ally, Marceau de D'aboville, Zachary's safety is paramount. The chapter’s final image shows a piece of lace, believed to be a token from Bianca to Zachary, floating down a river to her. This immediately implies that he has been killed in battle, a possibility that has thrown the readership into a state of panic and denial. However, a prominent and hopeful counter-theory has taken hold within the community. Many readers recall a key conversation where Zachary explained that an object dropped into the river upstream could reach their home in half a day, far faster than a messenger on horseback. They speculate that the lace is not a sign of his demise but a deliberate, secret message signaling his survival and imminent return. This interpretation is supported by observations that the lace appears pristine, lacking the blood or dirt expected from a fatal conflict. While the central debate revolves around Zachary's fate, some readers also express frustration with perceived plot inconsistencies, particularly Bianca's failure to use her authority as a Saintess to summon holy knights for the war effort. The chapter effectively leaves the audience in suspense, torn between fearing the worst and clinging to clues that suggest a clever, hopeful resolution.
