### Summary
The chapter focuses on a tense confrontation with a male antagonist, identified by some readers as "scarface," who harasses Rita and makes a shocking claim of love for her. This declaration is met with universal disgust and disbelief from the audience, who vehemently reject his actions as a twisted, possessive obsession rather than genuine affection. Readers label him "trash" and a "psychotic bastard," condemning his abusive treatment of her. Despite this, a recurring conflict arises as many readers admit to finding the antagonist physically attractive, leading to a clash between their moral judgment and aesthetic appreciation. In response to his aggression, Rita is lauded for her formidable acting skills and strategic use of seduction, reinforcing her image as a "Queen" skillfully playing mind games to advance her revenge. This toxic encounter further elevates the status of the loyal maid, Janna, whom readers adore for her sweetness and want to see protected at all costs, with many even shipping a romantic relationship between her and Rita. The incident solidifies the readers' view of the story's male nobility as irredeemably corrupt, fueling their desire to see Rita systematically punish and eliminate every one of them.
