Following the pivotal realization that Duke Calcion’s love is genuine, the actress Rinha—now living as Selina—chooses to feign ignorance, creating a deep internal conflict between returning to her old life and embracing her new feelings. However, this personal dilemma is violently overshadowed by the escalating actions of the primary antagonist, the Crown Prince. The latest developments, as revealed through reader reactions, show the prince dropping all pretense and displaying his true, cruel nature.
