## Chapter

- release_date: 2025-05-08

### Summary
The chapter opens with the comedic fallout of Prince Caesar's impulsive "rescue," leaving him, Carnelia, and the suspicious Oscar trapped together in a pit. Caesar's sheepish admission, "I... didn't think that far," confirms his tendency to act rashly out of concern for Carnelia, leading to lighthearted banter between the couple. The focus then shifts to a significant political revelation: the empress's primary motivation for her villainy is the imperial tradition of confining the mother of the losing heir to a secluded palace for life. This desperation to avoid confinement by placing her son, Noah, on the throne is viewed as a short-sighted and self-defeating strategy, as simply fostering a good relationship with the kind-hearted Caesar would have likely secured her future. Readers speculate that the entire conflict could be resolved if the protagonists simply proposed changing this archaic law. Amidst ongoing theories about Oscar's potential royal lineage and the surprising plot relevance of a past popularity contest, the chapter highlights Caesar's complete devotion to Carnelia, though an ominous note is struck by the revelation that the next chapter is titled "Heartbreak."
