### Summary
The fragile resolution between Reniae and Kun shatters as a new, agonizing misunderstanding takes root. Blackmailed by Gizzida under the threat of mass slaughter, Reniae makes a devastating choice, agreeing to leave with her tormentor. To protect Kun, she concocts a believable lie, verbally savaging him with cruel words and claiming she is leaving to pursue her own "true freedom." This act of self-sacrifice is perceived by the audience as a catastrophic regression, reigniting the hated misunderstanding trope just after the last one was solved. Readers express immense frustration and anger at Reniae's decision, condemning her failure to communicate Gizzida's magical threat or utilize her own latent powers and assassin skills. Her reversion to a helpless victim who opts to sell herself to a monster, despite knowing he will likely betray the deal, has left the audience feeling betrayed and emotionally exhausted. The chapter culminates in a painful separation, driven by a forced deception that plunges the protagonists back into tragedy and leaves readers in despair.
