### Summary
The recent, highly popular flashback arc detailing the romance between Duchess Azela and Duke Aetius Salvator has concluded, shifting the narrative back to the present with a strong sense of finality. Readers, who had become deeply invested in the parents' origin story, expressed disappointment at its swift end. The current chapter functions as an emotional, time-skipping montage that rapidly resolves key antagonist plotlines and provides a glimpse into the future. It confirms that the Crown Prince Arendo has become a priest and Conrad's father is imprisoned, while offering touching scenes of the Salvator children, Ruenti and Beth, growing up. This narrative wrap-up has left the readership feeling sentimental and bittersweet, with many lamenting the series' perceived imminent conclusion. However, a significant point of reader frustration remains, as the long-teased mystery behind the origins of both Duchess Azela's and Duke Aetius's scars appears to have been left unresolved, leaving a key question unanswered as the main story draws to a close.
