### Summary
While the tender romance between Blondina and Amon blossoms, with Amon respectfully prioritizing her feelings over a purely political marriage, the peace is threatened by mounting antagonism. Readers express intense frustration with Blondina's stepsister, Adellai, whose arrogant and power-hungry obsession with eliminating the divine beasts is seen as childish and delusional. Many believe her hubris will be her downfall, but they also place significant blame on her father, Emperor Trije, for enabling her dangerous ambitions and undermining his own goals for peace. This has led some to view the Emperor as the true villain of the arc. The tension is compounded by suspicions that Philip Rodson is manipulating Adellai to further his own obsessive pursuit of Blondina. Amidst the political scheming, a fan theory has emerged regarding Blondina's "blank" eyes, fueling speculation that she is a Shinsu descendant, a potential revelation that could drastically alter the empire's future and explain Adellai's deep-seated jealousy.
