### Summary
The narrative has fully committed to its regression plot twist, sending Duke Dreux back to his childhood with his memories of the original timeline intact. This development completely inverts the story's dynamic, as a young, innocent Nöel has no memory of him, placing the burden on Dreux to proactively alter their tragic fate. He is already using his foreknowledge, decisively rejecting a young Margot to prevent her future death and internally declaring his unwavering loyalty to Nöel as his "wife." This reset timeline provides new context, revealing the origin of Dreux's "my little skylark" nickname for Nöel. Reader analysis suggests Nöel's mother, Sofia, is now magically drained because her life force was consumed by the protection spell in the now-erased timeline, explaining her decision to flee. This mid-story pivot is overwhelmingly praised by readers as a masterful stroke that reframes the entire preceding story as a prologue, offering a second chance to deceased characters and solidifying the genre as a time-travel fantasy drama driven by the male lead's quest to save everyone.
