### Summary
The central conflict remains Erden's magically enforced self-loathing, rooted in a family curse that will kill him if he ever learns he is beautiful. This fatal condition fuels his persistent attempts to divorce Letitia, whom he believes he is burdening with what he perceives as his monstrous appearance—an illusion of peeling skin and boils that the curse forces him to see in his own reflection. Reader speculation now centers on the theory that the curse is a misguided form of protection, designed to make Erden hide his face from devils who are drawn to beautiful things. Letitia's primary struggle is communicating her unwavering desire to stay with him without revealing the deadly truth about his appearance. This has become a point of audience frustration, with many urging her to at least state her wish to remain married, even if she cannot compliment him. As the characters prepare for a ball, this core tension between Erden's curse-driven insecurity and Letitia's protective silence continues to define their relationship, leaving them unable to resolve his deep-seated pain.
