### Summary
The introduction of the charismatic Countess Orlens marks a significant shift in the social dynamics, as she is met with overwhelming reader enthusiasm. Described as "hot" and "badass," her immediate rapport with Selina has ignited a strong fan desire for a "yuri" (GL) romance, positioning the Countess as an unexpected and formidable new "love rival" for the Duke. This development occurs as Calcion's one-sided devotion deepens; having long abandoned his act, he is now seen as completely "whipped" and "clingy," following Selina like a "puppy." While Selina remains comically oblivious to his genuine feelings, mistaking his sincerity for improved acting, she successfully forges a new, supportive group of female friends. Amidst the excitement for a potential romance between the two women, a popular competing theory suggests the Countess's true motive is to set Selina up with her son, thereby securing her for the family through a more traditional arrangement. The Countess's arrival diversifies the court intrigue, presenting a new challenge to Calcion's affections from an entirely new direction.
