### Summary
The chapter pivots from awkward romance to shocking directness when Calcion, in an effort to prove the sincerity of his desire, explicitly exposes himself to Selina. This "flashing" incident is met with a surprised slap, a reaction that some readers found disappointing and a deviation from the source novel. The narrative then shifts to a darker tone as Selina reveals the full, tragic truth about Calcion's former fiancée, Airel, explaining she had been assaulted and was pregnant. Calcion's response becomes a point of controversy; he shows a disturbingly minimal emotional reaction to Airel's fate, instead channeling his rage toward the Crown Prince for the threat he represents to Selina, vowing violent retribution. The chapter concludes with deliberate ambiguity, leaving readers questioning whether the couple consummated their relationship and creating a jarring mix of explicit romantic proof, dark revelations, and divisive character reactions.
