### Summary

The narrative, relayed primarily through guards, reveals that Kun now has a wife, is expecting a child, and has become a ruthless leader committing atrocities, including the murder of newborns. This has sparked a divided reaction among the audience. A significant portion of readers express frustration with Reniae, criticizing her indecisiveness and arguing that she created her own misery by pushing Kun away. However, many others defend her, attributing her erratic behavior to the severe trauma of her past, which makes it impossible for her to trust easily.
