### Summary
The narrative pivots from the previous chapter's introspection to a direct and hostile confrontation. Selina finds herself cornered and verbally assaulted by a group of vicious noblewomen, including Rosaline and Fionel, within a boutique. The antagonists attack her with slander, criticizing her commoner status and lack of adherence to their social norms, a scene that reinforces the immense psychological pressure Calcion's former fiancée, Airel, must have endured. Despite the intense harassment, Selina maintains a brilliant and calculated composure, understanding that she lacks the status to win a direct fight in this enclosed social battlefield. Just as the tension reaches its peak, Calcion makes a dramatic and intimidating entrance, his timely arrival shifting the power dynamic and promising imminent retribution. This intervention was met with widespread excitement from readers, who anticipated a satisfying comeuppance for the bullies. However, a notable portion of the audience expressed mixed feelings, lamenting that the "damsel in distress" rescue undermines Selina's established competence and prevents her from fighting her own battles.
