### Summary
The political fallout of the coup immediately gives way to personal conflict as the newly crowned Emperor, Hazen, makes unsettling advances on Laranora. With Eskal conspicuously absent—presumably carrying out the violent consolidation of Hazen's power—the Emperor corners Laranora, his intentions transparently predatory. This has solidified his role as the story's primary antagonist in the eyes of the readers, who overwhelmingly condemn him as a manipulative hypocrite who orchestrates a bloodbath while keeping his own hands clean. A pivotal moment for the audience is Hazen's complete failure to notice Laranora suffering from an allergic coughing fit, a detail that starkly contrasts with Eskal’s hyper-attentive devotion and serves as definitive proof of Hazen's unworthiness. Readers now theorize that Hazen's entire power grab was a calculated scheme to eliminate Eskal and claim Laranora for himself, with many predicting he will betray Eskal by exposing his violent deeds to his wife. This sets the stage for an imminent marital crisis and fuels speculation that Eskal, or perhaps Hazen's more loyal twin brother Beluca, will be forced to depose the new Emperor to protect Laranora.
