- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The current chapter centers on conflict at the tournament after Geenie's victory. Her wish to visit her imprisoned friend Ash is denied by the Emperor, who dismisses her request. This refusal, perceived by many readers as bullying a ten-year-old child (especially given Geenie's known internal injuries from a prior kidnapping incident), sparks significant outrage towards the Emperor. Rovenin then intervenes, proposing a duel: if Geenie wins against him, her wish is granted. The Emperor, finding this prospect more entertaining, approves the match despite Geenie's protests and injured state. This forces the injured, younger Geenie into a high-stakes fight against the significantly older and skilled Rovenin. Reader reactions are intensely divided, condemning the Emperor and Rovenin for pressuring a child, while others defend their actions based on societal hierarchy or criticize Geenie's own perceived arrogance and lack of growth, seeing parallels in how she treats her spirits.
