## Chapter
- number: 82
- release_date: 2025-05-11

### Summary
The current chapter sidelines the main couple amidst a chaotic dragon attack, shifting the narrative focus to the supporting cast and the deeply controversial actions of Emperor Hazen. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly hostile toward Hazen's participation in the battle, which is widely rejected as a forced and unearned redemption arc. The audience expresses sustained disgust for the character, viewing his efforts as the bare minimum rather than a heroic turn and demanding he face punishment for his past villainy. In contrast, significant sympathy is directed toward the dragons, with readers speculating they are victims of a historical misunderstanding involving the Van Dyck ancestors and hoping the truth will be revealed rather than having them sealed away again. This external conflict leaves the protagonists in a state of limbo: Eskal remains incapacitated and absent, while Laranora is heavily criticized for her perceived inaction and slowness to respond to the crisis, reinforcing her passive character trajectory. The chapter is thus defined by intense reader frustration over character development, a deepening historical mystery, and a continued longing for the main protagonist's return.
