### Summary
The new season opens with a significant conflict between Melissa and her werewolf butler, Nine Forton, sparking a heated debate among readers. Following Melissa's near-death experience, Nine has become increasingly overprotective, cautioning her against simple activities like running in the garden. Melissa, fiercely independent and focused on her own strength, resents this behavior, interpreting it as condescending and a sign that Nine now looks down on her since his own powers have awakened. This dynamic has divided the fanbase; some readers find Nine’s actions controlling and annoying, while others defend him, attributing his behavior to the trauma of almost losing her and a deep-seated fear for her safety. This character friction fuels a prominent fan theory that the novel's "fate" or a mysterious spirit is forcing Melissa into the heroine role. Readers speculate that Nine's sudden overbearing nature, along with the abrupt redemption arcs of Crown Prince Ian and her brother Jake, are symptoms of the story's programming rewriting them into typical male leads with an unrequited interest in her. Amidst this developing tension, the chapter continues comedic subplots, including Melissa's unique perspective on finances—referring to organs as an "allowance given by God"—and the ongoing gag of her maid Yona's ever-increasing wealth.
