### Summary
The chapter delivers a pivotal romantic milestone, as Calcion and Selina share their long-awaited first kiss, which quickly becomes a second. This moment highlights Calcion's genuine, all-consuming love, a development lost on the expert actress Selina, who comically continues to misinterpret his sincere devotion as a miraculous improvement in his acting skills. This tender high point is violently shattered by a shocking and abrupt tonal shift. While Selina is speaking publicly with a noblewoman who has just become a trusted friend—a character readers identify as "the count" or "Orlen"—the ally is suddenly assassinated by an arrow. The chapter's romantic atmosphere is instantly replaced by horror, leaving readers stunned by the brutal murder of a well-liked character. The overwhelming consensus among readers is that the manipulative Crown Prince is responsible, viewing the act as a means to silence a key informant and issue a direct threat. The narrative concludes on a dramatic cliffhanger, with the assassination overshadowing the romantic progress and sparking widespread reader speculation that Selina will be framed for the crime.
