### Summary
Following her recent display of combat prowess, Selina's growing competence, which previously drew "Mary Sue" critiques, is now largely celebrated by readers as a sign of a capable and "iconic" heroine. The current chapter pivots back to social intrigue, culminating in a final panel reveal of Selina in a striking deep blue dress that has captivated the audience. The reaction is overwhelmingly positive, with readers calling her "gorgeous" and "astounding," but the outfit has also ignited a debate. A vocal minority criticizes the dress as historically inaccurate and unsuitable for her noble status, likening it to a "commoner's" attire and questioning the author's research. This controversy underscores Selina's disruptive presence in the kingdom. Meanwhile, suspicion intensifies around the new maid, Juna, whose overly pleasant demeanor is seen as a red flag. The Queen is also introduced as a potentially complex antagonist with understandable, if questionable, motives. The central romance continues to charm readers, who note Calcion's obvious blushing and excitement in response to Selina's confidence. As Selina prepares to navigate the capital's high society, her bold, anachronistic methods solidify her power but also attract new enemies and scrutiny, all while the central mystery surrounding the late fiancée, Airel, remains.
