Can I Cry Now? (이제 울어도 될까요), also translated as Can I Finally Cry Now?, the deeply emotional historical romance manhwa, will release Can I Cry Now? Chapter 41 for English fast-scan readers next Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
If you have been keeping up with Cloise and Aris’s tragic story, you know the premise centers on Cloise, a man who ruthlessly killed his brothers to ascend the throne—not for ambition, but solely to protect his beloved pregnant wife. However, upon securing his crown, he returns to find his wife gone and presumed dead. Numb and broken for seven years, his life changes when he meets a young, exceptionally gifted child from an orphanage whose application to the empire’s academy was unfairly rejected. The child bears a haunting familiarity to the family he lost, setting him on a path of healing and uncovering the truth.

Why Can I Cry Now? Chapter 41 Matters
The English fast-scan teams (such as NyxScans and RoliaScans) have been consistently updating the manhwa to match the Korean releases. The pacing has recently shifted as Cloise begins to connect the dots regarding the child’s true identity and the circumstances surrounding his wife’s disappearance.
What makes Chapter 41 so critical? Because the manhwa is directly adapting a completed Korean web novel, readers already know the trajectory of the plot. Chapter 41 marks a highly emotional turning point where the focus shifts heavily toward the child’s perspective and her adjustment to her new environment.
Can I Cry Now? Chapter 41 Spoilers (Based on the Novel)
According to the original novel chapters, here is what you can expect from this highly anticipated release:
Entering the Academy Dormitory
Spoilers indicate that Chapter 41 will deal directly with the gifted child officially moving into the academy’s dormitory. The chapter opens with her trying to decide between two available rooms. This seemingly mundane choice highlights her deep insecurities and trauma from growing up in the poorhouse, as she is unaccustomed to having her own safe space.
Cloise’s Hidden Protection
While the child is trying to adjust to academy life, fans anticipate that the chapter will showcase Cloise working behind the scenes. Realizing the depth of his connection to her, he goes out of his way to ensure she is protected from the corrupt nobility who previously rejected her application, setting up his full transition into the fiercely protective father figure she desperately needs.

While his instincts are already drawing him to her, the actual confirmed “father-daughter” reveal happens shortly after the current academy arc.
