### Summary
The narrative has propelled Reniae on a perilous journey to the Northland, confirming speculation that the manipulative priest Gizzida is sending her to assassinate Kun. This development has been met with intense reader reaction, solidifying Gizzida's status as a despised antagonist, with comments condemning him as a monstrous, manipulative, and psychopathic figure. While there is palpable excitement for the imminent and angst-ridden reunion with Kun, significant frustration is now also directed at Reniae. Readers criticize her passivity and inability to resist Gizzida's control, viewing her as a complicit victim who has lost her agency. This sentiment is compounded by audience questions regarding plot inconsistencies, such as the logic of her mission and the apparent disappearance of her divine curse's effects. Despite a minority view that Kun is also morally flawed, the overwhelming hope is that the rumors of his betrayal are false and that this reunion will ultimately free Reniae from Gizzida's grasp. The current arc leaves readers bracing for a painful confrontation, caught between a hated captor and a lost love.
