Ryan died because he drank the VS solution which Christoph added to the wine in one of the chapters. Ryan lived a full 10 years and died.
Sorry I should have been more clear. His death is explained, but the effect on the others hasn’t been explained. Why did he wipe everyone’s memory? How are they all coping? How will they’re interactions change now?
Ryan didn't wipe everyone's memory of him, only Christoph's, since he'll be the most affected one if he knew that he was the reason why Ryan's gonna die or why Ryan died. Ryan really cares about Christoph, what we don't know is if it's that kind of love or if it's a fatherly love. So everyone started to act like they don't know Ryan as well for the sake of Christoph.
ohhh. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Maybe, maybe... it’s the finale for the season? Because this does seem abrupt. Like many others have said, Ryan’s death is unexplained and abrupt. Also, the pink haired guy’s (sorry forgot his name) past isn’t explained, and his relationship problems also haven’t been resolved. Furthermore, the ending of “Oh, he looks so hurt,” hasn’t been explained. And the whole poison clear solution thing (sorry my memory is really bad) with Christopher’s bro thing has only been resolved a little bit (unless I missed something, but it felt like the author just got bored and kinda ended it). I just don’t see how all of this will be explained/resolved in one chapter. Plus, this is Royal Servant with lots of pontential, and I don’t want this series to end. ╥﹏╥
