### Summary
Reader suspicion surrounding Gizzida has crystallized into horror following the revelation of his true purpose for purchasing Reniae and other young, pre-pubescent slave girls. The previous chapter's ambiguity has been replaced by a definitive sense of dread, as readers theorize the girls are destined for a sinister fate. The most prominent speculations are that they will be used for ritualistic purposes, either as "pure" virgin sacrifices or as "baby machines" to breed the next generation for the "sky people." This reveal solidifies Gizzida's villainous nature, confirming he is a manipulative and predatory figure hiding behind a facade of kindness. Concurrently, readers have pieced together crucial lore, speculating that Gizzida's "sky people" are imposters who require "divine stones"—harvested from the tombs of the Northlanders' ancestors—to maintain their god-like appearance and power. This positions Kun and his people as the true divine descendants of the god Kittu. For Reniae, this chapter marks a devastating turning point; her naive perception of Gizzida as a "good person" is shattered as she realizes she is not special but merely a "lamb for the slaughter," confirming the ominous foreshadowing from the previous chapter.
