## Chapter
- number: 84
- release_date: 2025-03-05

### Summary
The current chapter culminates in the public execution of the corrupt nobles, an event Aria and Crown Prince Asher attend as a triumphant power couple. A pivotal moment of character development occurs as Asher confidently reflects on why he, a man of action, is a better match for Aria than his former rival, Oscar Frederick. This sentiment is strongly echoed in reader commentary, which largely dismisses Oscar as a weak, passive, and spineless character who failed to act against his manipulative sister, the antagonist Isis, until her downfall was already certain. While some express pity for Oscar and hope he can now live peacefully, the consensus is that his inaction made him unworthy. With Isis and other conspirators facing punishment, Aria's primary target, Mielle, is now imprisoned, setting the stage for Aria's preferred revenge: forcing Mielle to witness the life and status she coveted being enjoyed by Aria. This commitment to prolonged psychological torment over a swift execution is celebrated by fans as proof of Aria's true villainess nature. The presence of the increasingly popular allied monarch, King Lohan, adds a new dynamic to the shifting political landscape, as the chapter solidifies Aria's victory and her formidable alliance with Asher.
