## Series

## Chapter
- number: 96
- release_date: 2025-03-06

### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from the couple's internal struggle to a high-stakes historical conspiracy, which the latest chapter has all but confirmed for the audience. A long-held reader theory—that the empire's official history is a lie—has been solidified by new revelations. A ghostly entity's fragmented statement about the "cursed the descendants of angels" is being interpreted as definitive proof that the Halstead family, not the imperial line, are the true angelic descendants. This reframes Erden's curse not as a punishment for betrayal, but as a demonic plot to suppress his divine heritage and hide his angelic features. Suspicion against the imperial family has reached a fever pitch, fueled by the visual confirmation that a prominent red-eye necklace worn by the Emperor is identical to the eye of the devil Astarode. Astarode himself made a terrifying appearance, consuming a helpful spirit creature before it could reveal more to Letitia, cementing his role as a primary antagonist and his direct connection to the royal court. The central conflict is no longer just about breaking a personal curse, but about uncovering a centuries-old deception orchestrated by a devil-aligned empire.
