### Summary
The narrative shifts focus to Prince Cassian, delving into the traumatic backstory that motivated his infidelity towards Raelle. It is revealed that his actions were a misguided attempt to protect her from his manipulative and cruel father, the Emperor. A key flashback shows the Emperor slaughtering Cassian's beloved horse, Aloff, as a brutal lesson against showing affection for anything that could be used as a weakness. This revelation has generated a complex reaction among readers, who express a newfound sympathy for the prince's childhood trauma while simultaneously holding him accountable for the pain he caused Raelle, arguing that his tragic past does not excuse his poor choices and lack of communication. Ishid plays a crucial role in this arc, acting as a blunt confidant who confronts Cassian with the flawed logic of his actions, a development readers interpret as a sign of Ishid's own significant character growth. While opinions on Cassian's potential for redemption are divided, the community is united in its intense animosity toward the Emperor, cementing him as the primary antagonist whose cruelty has psychologically damaged his son and continues to drive the central political conflict.
