### Summary
The latest developments center on a significant romantic misunderstanding, as Captain Kaillou's adjutant, Desian, has incorrectly concluded that the Captain is in love with Princess Isephina. This has sparked widespread frustration among readers, who find the assumption illogical given Kaillou has already rejected the princess twice and Desian has personally witnessed his smitten behavior toward Judith. This subplot has polarized the audience's view of Kaillou; while some find his lovesick pining endearing, a vocal portion criticizes it as unprofessional and incompetent, believing it detracts from his established character as a capable leader and reduces his role to "filler" in what is otherwise a plot-heavy story. The sentiment is that Judith is navigating a serious political thriller while Kaillou is stuck in a "romance comedy." Meanwhile, readers commend Judith's realistic internal struggle to abandon her mercenary past and become a good person, but they remain exasperated by her refusal to confide in allies. Many argue she could leverage her divine stigma to lend credibility to her knowledge of the future, especially with fellow stigma-bearer Desian, and that her continued silence is stalling the plot.
