## Chapter
- number: 70
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
The narrative has transitioned into a high-stakes epilogue arc, subverting expectations of a peaceful conclusion by reintroducing the primary antagonist, the villainous former king, who was believed to have been defeated. This shocking return has provoked intense negative reactions from readers, who vehemently desire his permanent downfall. The current conflict escalates from the previous chapter, where protagonist Samwol impulsively pursued the villain into dangerous territory. Now, she and Hwan have engaged their enemy directly, accepting a dinner invitation from him. This strategic choice is met with reader skepticism and sarcasm, as they question the wisdom of eating food provided by the "bastard" and openly revealing their presence as a means to gather intelligence. This development has shifted the focus from resolving the couple's past trauma to confronting an immediate, resurgent threat. Reader frustration is palpable, with some expressing regret for reading past the main story's conclusion, wishing the couple had fled the country, or hoping the side stories would have explored other characters like a new king and queen. The current tension suggests the story is building towards a final, violent confrontation rather than a quiet resolution.
