🔄 Previously on "The Hero's Harem Is Trying to Kill Him" – Chapter 53 Recap:
Kai faced the ghost of a life long buried: Lyra, the woman he once loved and destroyed, now inexplicably alive. Their reunion shook him with memories of his reign as Kai'Zuran—the Fireborn King. Haunted by the past, he confessed to Yuri that Lyra wasn't just a memory… she was a consequence.
In the shadows, Lyra and Astra met in secret. The two queens, once enemies, now danced on the edge of alliance. And as Lyra discovered Astra's ultimate plan—to awaken the full power of Kai'Zuran—the line between salvation and apocalypse grew thinner.
Lyra slapped Astra. But she stayed.
And that meant only one thing:
The past isn't finished with them yet.
