### Summary
The hunting competition serves as the stage for a pivotal and comedic misunderstanding. After demonstrating her prowess, Selina acquires a prize—a sword ornament—which Duke Calcion eagerly anticipates receiving. However, in a stunning public display, she instead presents the gift to the antagonistic Crown Prince. This calculated act is interpreted by readers as a multi-layered strategy: Selina is simultaneously disposing of a potentially "cursed" item onto an enemy she wishes ill upon, while also creating an opportunity to get closer to him for information about his conspiracy. The fallout is immediate and steeped in dramatic irony. The Crown Prince, completely misinterpreting the gesture, is convinced his seduction of Selina is succeeding. In devastating contrast, Calcion is left visibly heartbroken and jealous, his hopeful expression shattering in front of everyone. While the moment is a source of immense comedy for the audience, it also draws criticism from some readers who feel Selina's action is out of character, needlessly hurting the devoted Duke and recklessly encouraging the primary villain.
