Yes, Emperor Goethe dies in The Kingdoms of Ruin. After the witch hunts, Emperor Goethe becomes ill, and this is because of repeated exposure to the nuclear photons released from the Magic Photon Suppression Device.

It turns out that half the soldiers who participated in the witch hunts developed a human cellular function deficiency disease. The people at the science agency believed that the device could kill cells.

And so, the emperor, being the one who operated the device the most, became very ill. However, it’s not the illness that kills the emperor.
