### Summary
Based on the reader comments, the current chapter centers on revelations surrounding Prince Brandt's sister, Helena. During a conversation with her adoptive mother, Countess Alberhart, Verta receives strong maternal approval for Blaine as a suitor while Prince Van is dismissed. This endorsement and Verta's own comparison of Van and Blaine's looks spark discussion. Crucially, readers overwhelmingly theorize that Helena, the missing princess with blonde hair mentioned by Prince Brandt, is the same young woman imprisoned in Marquess Carter's basement, previously shown in the story. Many also connect Helena to the childhood friend Blaine mentioned attempting to poison, noting her disappearance aligns with her potential capture by Carter. This potential identity of Helena as both Blaine's childhood acquaintance and Carter's captive prisoner becomes the dominant point of speculation and concern. Art style changes continue to be debated.
