### Summary
Following her abduction, Verta (as Bertha) finds herself at the mercy of a lecherous antagonist, revealed to be the husband of Heather, a past victim of Verta's schemes. As the captor prepares to sexually assault her, an unexpected and ill-conceived rescue attempt unfolds. Julia, a noblewoman aspiring to be a knight and revealed to be Blaine's sister, charges in to save Verta. However, her bravery is overshadowed by her recklessness; she arrives alone and completely unarmed, resulting in her swift and easy capture. This foolish heroism, while delaying the immediate threat to Verta, only complicates the situation by adding a second hostage. The coachman, John, is criticized for bringing such inept backup. Reader sentiment views Julia as a well-intentioned but "stupid" character whose actions are more hindrance than help. The chapter is largely perceived as a tense setup, with fans dismissing the one-dimensional villain and Julia's failed heroics, instead focusing their anticipation on a violent rescue by Verta's lover, Blaine, to save both women from their captor. Some readers also argue Verta brought the situation on herself through her own petty machinations.
