I'm becoming less enamored of the story the more the insiders are involved.

Possible spoilers ahead, you've been warned...
Chapters 41-45
That last part of the volume crushed my heart. After the King discovered the real purpose of the priest for wanting to obtain Shiva, which is not her soul but her body herself to turn it into a vessel for the 'Holy Father'. Because of the truth, the King wanted to spare Shiva and bring him back outside the Kingdom. Before the priest managed to complete the ceremony, Shiva managed to successfully escape from inside the wall with the help of the King and one of the soldier. That soldier used to know the doctor Albert, who I suspected was Teacher's real identity.
But what awaits Shiva outside is not something even me, most especially Shiva expected to see. Teacher has turned into a tree. The way Shiva looked was absolutely heartbreaking. She tried to hugged him and apologized. One of the branches moved as if caressing her head, as if trying to comfort her. And from that physical contact, the curse slowly spread across her body. I thought that once she was free of that curse, she was no longer vulnerable but the fact is she once again had a physical contact with someone with the curse and it can still infect her. But personally, it might be heartbreaking to end up like that but having the same fate as the only person who you can be with, I guess that's really not as bad as it seems. There's two more volumes after this but I don't know how the story is going to end.
