### Summary
This chapter shifts focus to Judith's traumatic past through a flashback or PTSD-induced dream, revealing her relationship with a former superior, Jeromell. In this memory, Jeromell is portrayed as a manipulative psychopath who murders a princess, frames Judith for the crime, and is responsible for both stabbing her and crudely cutting her hair. This revelation has ignited reader debate over Judith's own culpability; while some see her as a victim whose greed was exploited, others argue she must take accountability for her active participation, highlighting a scene where she puts on the dead princess's crown. The chapter also introduces a new, attractive palace smithy, who has become an instant fan favorite and the subject of widespread reader thirst. Back in the present, Captain Kaillou's innocent comment on Judith's haircut creates dramatic irony for the audience, who now understands its violent origin. Speculation about Jeromell's motives continues, with some suggesting a vendetta against the royal family, alongside ongoing minor discussions about the pronunciation of Kaillou's name.
