## Chapter

### Summary
The chapter escalates the war into a grim new phase as the primary antagonist, derided by readers as a "petty scorpion" with "ugly green eyeliner," unleashes a biological warfare campaign. Speculation is rampant that he has deliberately infected released soldiers or servants to spread a plague, a move universally condemned by the audience as a heinous war crime. This development is widely interpreted as a direct challenge to Elise's medical expertise, setting the stage for her to counter the epidemic and turn her enemy's plan back on him. Concurrently, the romantic tension intensifies as Prince Linden is shown cuddling a sleeping Elise, breaking his explicit promise not to touch her. This act deeply divides the readership; while some find the moment romantic, many others criticize it as "creepy" and a coercive violation of trust, continuing the conflict over Elise's autonomy from the previous chapter. Amidst the outrage and romantic conflict, readers also note the continued improvement in the prince's art style and the appealing design of a side character named Fabian, as the narrative positions Elise to confront a national crisis while navigating her fraught relationship with the prince.
