### Summary
The tension of the royal hunting competition escalates into a violent, life-threatening crisis. As readers predicted, Yuri finds herself in grave danger in the forest, but not from hunting dogs; she is ambushed by a ferocious bear. The event unfolds in a graphic and well-choreographed action sequence, praised by readers for its art and intensity, where Aenon Lionheart intervenes to save her. The brutal fight results in the deaths of the bear and several hunting dogs, sparking significant reader sympathy for the animals and criticism of the hunting trope. In the immediate aftermath, Aenon confronts a visibly shocked and traumatized Yuri, with his panicked anger eliciting both understanding and frustration from the audience. This dramatic event, however, subverted a key reader expectation: it did not lead to the long-awaited reveal of Yuri's gender, a point of disappointment for many who hoped an injury would finally expose her secret. Concurrently, suspicion surrounding Princess Arsinoe has intensified, with a growing portion of the audience believing she intentionally sent Yuri into the dangerous woods for flowers, framing her as a manipulative "white lotus" and potential antagonist. The incident is largely interpreted as a classic "damsel in distress" scenario designed to force romantic development between Yuri and Aenon.
