### Summary
Following the complete collapse of his political ambitions, Marquis Gerald Pariam resorts to a final, desperate act of violence by attempting to assassinate Prince Caesar. The dramatic confrontation is met with widespread reader criticism for its perceived lack of logic. In a move many readers find reckless and unbelievable, the pregnant Carnelia reacts faster than the "war hero" Caesar, throwing herself in the path of the sword. However, the fatal blow is ultimately intercepted by Oscar (Louis), who sacrifices himself to protect both Carnelia and Caesar. This tragic turn has left readers overwhelmingly sympathetic towards Oscar, viewing him as a manipulated victim who died a hero's death, while further condemning Gerald for his futile and destructive quest for revenge. The scene is frequently described as a "soap opera," with many readers questioning the characters' actions and the incompetence of the royal knights. Alongside the shock and grief, a significant portion of the commentary focuses on the perceived "BL/Yaoi" subtext between Oscar and Gerald, framing their story as a doomed tragedy. While the event is emotionally charged, the consensus is that this conclusion to the succession crisis arc feels contrived and underwhelming.
