### Summary
The latest development centers on a controversial succession crisis that has sharply divided the readership. Following a convenient bout of amnesia that reverts him to a vengeful teenager, the character Oscar is revealed to be a hidden royal heir named Louis, possessing the true "crown prince ring." This revelation is being exploited by the manipulative Marquis Gerald Pariam, who is using the amnesiac Oscar as a pawn to publicly challenge Prince Caesar's right to the throne, setting up a dramatic confrontation for the season finale. However, this plot twist has been met with widespread reader frustration, with many criticizing the "cliche" amnesia trope and questioning the logic of the crisis itself. Commenters argue that the current emperor, Dietrich, won the throne through war, rendering the former emperor's choice and the ring's significance moot. They view the twist as an unnecessary contrivance to prolong the story. Amidst the backlash, readers have noted new details, such as flashbacks to the emperor's attractive youth and a fan theory connecting Oscar's mother to a ghost seen by another character, Noah, which introduces a new layer of mystery. Despite the political turmoil, Caesar and Carnelia's bond remains a stable element before the impending conflict.
