### Summary
The current chapter escalates the psychological torment of Reniae by her captor, Gizzida, provoking extreme revulsion from readers. The central conflict revolves around Gizzida's bizarre and violent reaction to Reniae's compliance. After she submits to his demands, he erupts in a screaming fit, an act that initially confuses the audience. The consensus is that his rage stems from a thwarted narcissistic game; he desired her revulsion and resistance, but her complete submission—a calculated sacrifice to protect Kun and the Northland—denied him the reaction he craved, infuriating him. While Reniae is being used as bait for a trap, a pivotal development occurs with Kun. The merchant Telkos has successfully informed him that Gizzida used a powerful weapon or ability called "nigak" during their previous encounter. This revelation makes Kun realize that Reniae's apparent betrayal was, in fact, a selfless act to save his people from being annihilated. With Kun now understanding the truth, the narrative sets the stage for a potential rescue, though Reniae remains trapped with her dangerously unstable tormentor.
