### Summary
Prince Caesar makes a dramatic and early return from war, an event readers overwhelmingly attribute to his deep love for Carnelia, which motivated him to end the conflict years ahead of the original novel's schedule. This major plot deviation, however, is met with continued shock and denial from Carnelia, sparking significant reader frustration with her obliviousness to her own impact on the story. This recurring trope of the isekai protagonist who fails to recognize obvious changes is a major point of discussion. Meanwhile, the original heroine, Gracie Lancaster, continues to receive strong fan support for her "badass" character development, with readers enthusiastically cheering for her friendship with Carnelia and her ambition to become a Duke. The chapter also introduces a grimmer world-building element with the public beheading of a rebel leader, whose dignified death and attractive appearance made an impression on the audience. Among the fandom, a popular new romantic "ship" has emerged between Gracie and the second prince, Noah.
