### Summary
This chapter delivers a devastating emotional blow, continuing the side story of Marceau and Catherine. Following a flashback that established Marceau's traumatic past, the narrative culminates in him shockingly asking Catherine for a divorce. Readers found the scene both beautiful and gut-wrenching, highlighting the painful contrast between Marceau's gentle demeanor and his heartbreaking words. The conflict is driven by external pressure, as Catherine's aunt has seemingly discovered Marceau's hidden, illegitimate background involving the manipulative Archbishop. Believing he has deceived the family, the aunt appears to have demanded the separation. Readers perceive Marceau's actions not as a rejection of his wife, but as a misguided, self-sacrificial attempt to protect her from the scandal of his origins, stemming from deep-seated guilt and love. The fan community reacted with collective heartbreak and frustration, directing their anger at the interfering aunt and the Archbishop. This intense investment has led many to declare that the couple's tragic story is compelling enough for its own standalone series, though a minority is ready to return to the main plot. Despite the anguish, some readers hold onto the belief that the couple will ultimately overcome this painful misunderstanding.
