## Chapter
- number: 61
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
Following the shocking assassination of the Emperor, the narrative pivots to reveal the tragic backstory of his killer, the Princess. This chapter explains that her patricide was an act of revenge, motivated by the cruel experiments the Emperor conducted on her mother, a wereperson. The reveal of her mother's selfless love and suffering has elicited sympathy from some readers, framing the Princess as a tragic figure. However, this sympathy is heavily contested by others who condemn her methods, pointing out that she created an undead army from the corpses of common soldiers and unjustly targeted the male lead, Roel, for her experiments. This leaves her firmly positioned as the story's final villain in the eyes of many, who see her as another criminal blaming the world for her personal misery. The focus on the antagonist's complex motivations has also created significant reader anxiety, as comments reveal the series is set to conclude in just a few chapters. This pacing has led to widespread concern that the central romance between Lamille and Roel will be rushed and left without a satisfying resolution.
