### Summary
After several chapters of being constantly interrupted by her awkward father and emotionally distant brother, Melissa Foddebrat finally seizes the opportunity to speak her mind. In a climactic and cathartic moment celebrated by readers, she forcefully announces her intention to cancel her engagement to the crown prince, Ian Basilios. Her declaration is delivered with characteristic wit and confidence, punctuated by the memorable line, "if you have any objections, rap about it," which leaves her family stunned into silence. The audience response was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing immense satisfaction and relief at seeing Melissa verbally dismantle the male leads. While her father's comically teary-eyed reaction provided humor, it also fueled the ongoing reader debate about his character—whether he is a neglectful parent or simply an emotionally inept "tsundere." Similarly, her brother Jake is criticized for his passivity regarding the prince's infidelity. Despite some lingering frustration with the story's pacing and the unlikable male characters, the chapter is defined by Melissa's triumphant and empowering speech, which fans hailed as a satisfying advancement of the plot.
