### Summary
The fierce debate from the previous chapter has largely resolved, with the overwhelming reader consensus being that Carnelia is masterfully executing a double agent strategy. Her act of "snitching" on Prince Caesar's secret mercenary training to the empress is now understood as a calculated move to gain the empress's trust. Subsequently, she warns Caesar that the empress "has caught on," thereby positioning herself as a trustworthy ally in his eyes as well. Readers have lauded this tactic as a "girl boss" move, celebrating her as a "manipulating queen" who is intelligently playing both sides for her ultimate goal: survival. Many have drawn parallels between her and famous fictional double agents like Severus Snape and Itachi Uchiha. The irony of her telling Caesar, "I'll always be on your side," is not lost on the audience, who frequently point to the manga's title about their eventual divorce. While a few readers remain confused by her risky plan, the majority view her as a brilliant strategist who is ultimately on her own side. Minor discussions also arose regarding the main characters' young age and the attractiveness of a new mercenary character, Miller.
