### Summary
The chapter revolves around a pivotal misunderstanding that propels the narrative forward. In an effort to protect his daughter, Duke Regis Floyen reviews a list of potential suitors and circles Crown Prince Maximilian's name with the clear intention of removing him as a candidate. However, when Juvelian discovers the list, she misinterprets the circled name as her father's final choice, believing her worst fear—an engagement to the cruel prince—has been realized. This creates a moment of intense dramatic irony, as readers highlight the fact that Juvelian is completely unaware that the man she knows as "Max," whom she is currently hiding in her room and planning to use for a contract relationship, is the very same Crown Prince Maximilian she is desperately trying to escape. This central misunderstanding has also prompted widespread reader speculation, leading to a popular theory that in the original timeline, Regis's actions were also misinterpreted; he likely gave Juvelian a knife for self-defense and sent Maximilian to rescue her from prison, a plan that was tragically foiled by her premature suicide. While commentary is filled with admiration for Regis's attractive appearance, a debate has emerged, weighing his newly theorized protective intentions against the severe emotional neglect he inflicted upon his daughter throughout her life.
