## Chapter

### Summary
The central conflict remains Erden Halstead's family curse, which forces him to perceive his own reflection as monstrous with peeling skin and boils, and will kill him if he ever learns he is beautiful. This magical self-loathing continues to drive him to seek a divorce from Letitia, whom he believes he is burdening. Reader analysis has coalesced around the theory that the curse is a misguided form of protection, designed to compel the famously beautiful Halstead men to wear masks and hide from devils, who are known to be drawn to beautiful things. This has led to further speculation about Erden's equally handsome father and the silent suffering his mother must have endured. While readers express overwhelming adoration for Erden's "pretty" appearance, they also voice confusion regarding the manga's world-building, questioning why devils are hunted when they seem to possess their own societies and are not inherently evil. The core emotional tension remains fixed on Erden's distorted self-perception and Letitia's inability to reveal the fatal truth, leaving readers eagerly anticipating how the curse will eventually be broken.
