### Summary
The dragon rampage, which protagonist Judith knew was three years away, has been prematurely triggered by Captain Kaillou’s rejection of Princess Isephina. This sudden crisis has ignited intense reader debate surrounding Judith's character. Faced with the immediate danger, Judith’s first instinct is to save her friends by urging them to flee, prioritizing personal loyalties over her sworn duty as a knight. This action has sharply divided the audience. Many readers express frustration and disappointment, viewing her behavior as a cowardly regression that betrays her vow to live an honorable life. They hold her accountable for the catastrophe, arguing her prolonged inaction and failure to warn anyone, despite her knowledge of the future, is a critical character flaw. Conversely, other readers defend her response as a realistic and humanizing portrayal of trauma. They argue that her deep-seated fear of loss makes her prioritize her loved ones, adding depth to her character and highlighting that her journey of atonement is not a simple, linear path. With Captain Kaillou now in grave danger, this event serves as a crucial turning point, forcing Judith to confront the consequences of her passivity and the conflict between her ideals and her ingrained survival instincts.
