### Summary
The narrative shifts to a highly anticipated hunting competition, which serves as a stage for both romantic and political conflict. The event is framed by readers as a "battle of the wannabes," featuring a lineup of female competitors—including Rosaline and a young princess named Jeriel—vying for Duke Calcion's affection. Amidst this social showdown, the manipulative Crown Prince looms as a dangerous but enigmatic presence, his motives still unclear. The central dramatic irony of the series intensifies as Calcion's actions, now driven by genuine love and a "competitive streak," are consistently misinterpreted by the expert actress Selina as a miraculous improvement in his acting ability, a point of comedic frustration for the audience. While Selina is poised to dominate the competition, new tensions arise from a side plot involving a character named Lirel showing a "dark side" and potentially endangering a maid named Juna, fueling minor reader criticism of Selina's perceived hypocrisy. The chapter builds suspense for an imminent confrontation, with many speculating that the young princess is developing a fan-crush on the formidable Selina.
