### Summary
Reader discussion is sharply divided over Eskal's continued deception. While many are frustrated and urge him to simply be honest, a significant portion of the readership defends his cautious approach, arguing that revealing himself as the boy she thinks died would be too traumatic for Laranora, especially given his fearsome reputation. This debate, however, has been partially overshadowed by a new revelation: Eskal is holding Laranora's younger brother captive. This development has sparked intense curiosity and criticism, with many questioning his methods while simultaneously suggesting that reuniting the siblings could be the key to winning her trust. The fandom has also rallied behind the unnamed sibling, declaring their collective support for "younger brothers." Amidst the plot analysis, the community remains highly amused by the character names, with endless jokes about the "hot Dyck" and comparisons of the handsome assistant, Beluca, to a "Beluga whale." Despite any narrative frustrations, the stunning artwork and attractive character designs continue to earn universal praise.
