## Chapter

### Summary
The narrative has pivoted to an extended historical flashback, revealing the true origin of the long-standing human-dragon conflict. This backstory confirms that the war was not initiated by the Van Dyck lineage but by a treacherous ancient king of Suspen who betrayed the first Dyck ancestor and his dragon partner, Eilstar. This revelation has recast the Dyck family as tragic victims of corrupt royalty, a theme that resonates strongly with the current antagonism toward Emperor Hazen. Reader response indicates deep sympathy for the wronged ancestors and an appreciation for the newly established lore that the Ador family has been historically good-hearted. However, this deep dive into the past has brought the main plot to a standstill, fueling significant reader frustration. While the world-building is seen as well-written, it also raises questions about the Dyck lineage's continuation and is criticized by some for delaying the resolution of the present-day crisis. Eskal remains absent, and Laranora’s continued inaction during the ongoing dragon attack deepens criticism of her passive character arc, leaving the central conflict in a state of prolonged suspension.
