### Summary
The strategic and romantic alliance between Verta and Blaine has significantly intensified, with Verta now referring to him as "My Angel," a development that has cemented their fan-favorite status as a "power couple." Readers celebrate their bond as a perfect union of two cunning and malevolent individuals, viewing them as "two red flags" that make a "green flag" together. This partnership is immediately put into action as Verta launches her next scheme against Marquess Carter, leveraging her renowned acting skills and "crocodile tears" to advance her revenge. The current narrative tension is fueled by intense reader speculation about Carter's hidden depravities, with theories ranging from pedophilia to other dark fetishes, potentially linking his behavior to that of his deceased subordinate, Jean Lawrence. As Verta and her "Psychopath King" prepare to expose their ultimate foe, the infatuated Prince Brandt is consistently dismissed by the audience as too "sweet" and unsuited for Verta's true villainous nature, solidifying Blaine's role as her ideal counterpart in both crime and romance.
