### Summary
The narrative pivots from the current dragon attack to a pivotal historical flashback, revealing the tragic origin of the human-dragon conflict. This backstory exposes that the war was instigated not by the Van Dyck lineage, but by a greedy and cowardly king of the ancient kingdom of Suspen who betrayed the first Dyck ancestor and his beloved dragon partner, Eilstar. This revelation validates reader speculation, recasting the dragons as victims of a deep-seated injustice and eliciting overwhelming sympathy for the wronged ancestors. The intense reader outrage directed at the historical king mirrors the existing animosity toward the current Emperor, Hazen, reinforcing a core theme of corrupt and selfish royalty. Amidst this crucial world-building, the main protagonists remain in a state of limbo: Eskal is still absent, while Laranora continues to draw significant reader frustration for her prolonged inaction during the crisis, deepening criticism of her passive character arc.
