### Summary
The fragile peace negotiations are revealed to be a charade, as the southern envoy, Telkos, is confirmed to be the manipulative priest Gizzida in disguise. His arrival in the Northland escalates the central conflict into a direct confrontation with Kun. Under the pretense of diplomacy, Gizzida's true motive is to reclaim Reniae; he demands her body, citing a supposed tradition of cremating failed assassins as a clear ploy to verify her survival. This development starkly contrasts with the domestic stability Reniae has found with Kun, who continues to be portrayed as an ideal and supportive partner. His doting actions, such as knitting her a headscarf and reaffirming his love despite her Gizzida-induced infertility and the political pressure for an heir, have solidified his position as the superior love interest. Gizzida is universally condemned as an obsessive sociopath, with readers certain he will reject any peaceful resolution and use any pretext to incite war. The stage is now set for a personal and violent clash between the two men over Reniae, with war appearing inevitable.
