### Summary
With Juvelian and Maximilian now an official couple whose secrets are resolved, the narrative has pivoted from romantic comedy to a high-stakes rescue mission centered on Juvelian's father, Duke Regis Floyen. The immediate conflict is the urgent need to save Regis from the tyrannical Emperor, who is using a cursed artifact to torture him with the trauma of his past. This tension manifests as a direct confrontation between Regis and Maximilian, as the Duke tests the Crown Prince's strength. Readers widely interpret this not as simple opposition to the marriage, but as Regis's desperate attempt to ensure Maximilian is powerful enough to protect Juvelian from Regis himself, should the Emperor compel him to harm her—a grim callback to Juvelian's old claim that she would only marry someone stronger than her father. Despite the intense drama, the chapter is balanced with humor, particularly in post-chapter commentary panels that mock Maximilian's devotion and frame his fight for Regis's approval as a "suicide mission," complete with a mock funeral photo. Fan focus has heavily shifted to the tragic and charismatic Duke Regis, whose backstory and physical appeal have made him a fan favorite, often overshadowing the main leads.
