### Summary
The conflict with senior knights has intensified into a multi-day campaign of harassment, shifting reader frustration towards the Order's leadership. A leading figure, possibly Captain Kaillou or the Adjutant, is heavily criticized for promising to "take care of it" while allowing the abuse to continue, a choice many readers see as a severe failure of command that undermines the military hierarchy. The senior knights, likely led by Paeon, are condemned for their hypocrisy in demanding respect from juniors while simultaneously showing insubordination towards their own superiors. This has sparked a debate among readers: while many demand decisive punishment for the antagonists, others defend the hands-off approach. This latter group argues that it allows the protagonist, Judith, to prove her own strength and subverts the "damsel in distress" trope, even if some view Captain Kaillou's methods as naive. This ongoing trial directly challenges Judith's new path as she strives to become a genuine knight. Amidst the conflict, the character Desian has garnered positive attention from readers for being endearing.
