### Summary
The current narrative arc centers on the emotional fallout from the final confrontation between Zachary and his antagonistic brother, Roland. Reader discussion reveals that Roland’s motivations for hating Zachary—stemming from jealousy over noble lineage and a perceived inferiority complex—are considered weak and unsatisfying. The conflict culminates in Roland’s apparent suicide, a resolution met with widespread skepticism as many readers doubt his death without a confirmed body. A central focus is Zachary's profound grief for the brother who consistently betrayed him, a display of sentimentality that some fans find frustratingly naive for a seasoned warrior. In contrast, Bianca is praised for her unwavering support of Zachary during his moment of vulnerability. This main plotline is interwoven with the continuation of a fan-favorite side story involving Lucy, whose trauma from past abuse remains a key element of her character. A new potential love interest has been introduced for her, sparking speculation that he may be related to Marceau and largely eclipsing the knight Sauveur in fan shipping discussions. Overall commentary highlights a deep appreciation for the manga's extensive side stories, which are often considered as compelling as the main plot, alongside recurring critiques of the story's tropes, such as the unsatisfying deaths of villains and an unusually high maternal mortality rate.
