## Chapter

### Summary
This final chapter serves as a conclusive afterword, solidifying the series' "happily ever after" and leaving readers with a sense of bittersweet satisfaction. Audience reception is overwhelmingly positive, with many deeming the story a "masterpiece" and expressing sadness that it has concluded. A central revelation from this chapter is the confirmation that Laranora is two years older than Eskal, a detail that delights readers and retroactively frames the entire narrative as a "noona romance," which many feel fittingly explains some of Eskal's childish behavior. This final note also resolves the ambiguity from the previous chapter's epilogue, as readers now understand the "To Be Continued" notice likely referred to this author's note rather than a new story arc. While deeply fulfilled by the main couple's journey and Eskal's transformation, the audience's primary lingering desire is for side stories. Readers express strong curiosity about unresolved plot threads, specifically the ultimate fate of the antagonist Emperor Hazen and the potential romantic futures for supporting characters, including Laranora's brother Lynt and Eskal's sister Sinyi.
