### Summary
The fallout from Sylvia's kidnapping continues as she is unceremoniously forced to cook for an arrogant new Duke and his entourage in a completely empty kitchen. The entitled demands of the new antagonists have infuriated readers, but their primary frustration is aimed at Sylvia herself. Fans are decrying her sudden transformation from a "girl boss" into a passive "doormat," questioning why she doesn't use her modern sensibilities to demand payment or simply leave. This character shift, coupled with the convenient appearance of all necessary ingredients from her bag, has many calling the plot contrived. As tensions rise, a new, suspiciously-shaped butler with a wandering monocle adds a layer of bizarre mystery to the hostile situation.
