### Summary
This chapter delivers a shocking and abrupt plot twist that fundamentally alters the central conflict. The visiting Princess, previously an ambiguous figure suspected of being both a victim and a villain, assassinates her father, the Emperor, during a demonstration of an "immortal" army he had commissioned. The comments reveal this army is composed of undead soldiers, and the Princess was in charge of the project. Readers reacted with widespread shock, dark humor, and satisfaction, as the cruel Emperor's sudden demise was seen as a fitting end. This act of patricide is framed as a long-planned coup, confirming the Princess's direct involvement in the conspiracy that targeted Roel. Her alignment is now the central point of debate; while she has eliminated a key antagonist, her past actions, including using Roel as a "lab rat" for her experiments, lead many to believe she is the story's true final villain. Reader theories suggest her motivations may involve resurrecting her mother or exacting revenge for years of abuse, but her methods make any potential alliance with the main couple fraught with tension. The narrative has now pivoted from a conspiracy by corrupt nobles to a direct confrontation with the Princess and her undead forces.
