### Summary
The conflict from the previous chapter escalates beyond the disrespectful maid to a confrontation with an arrogant senior male staff member, likely the head butler. Confident that Duke Calcion is indifferent to his new lover, the butler attempts to undermine Selina, grossly underestimating her influence and Calcion's protective nature. In a moment overwhelmingly celebrated by observers as satisfying and righteous, Selina leverages her bold personality to turn the tables completely. She directly confronts the insubordinate butler, delivering a powerful rebuke that culminates in his immediate dismissal. This decisive act of "cleaning house" is seen as a triumphant assertion of authority, establishing that she will not be trifled with. Readers praise her as a "queen" and a "badass" who punishes wrongdoing, a refreshing departure from more passive or forgiving female leads. Her actions are not just a personal victory but a crucial move to root out the deep-seated corruption and disrespect within the ducal staff, which many speculate also plagued Calcion's late fiancée.
