### Summary
Picking up from their previous intense argument, the chapter sees Peony remaining genuinely angry with Richt for his harsh words. In a notable character development, she withholds her customary undivided attention, a move that visibly affects the Duke. The central conflict then pivots into a classic romantic comedy trope when Richt accidentally walks into the bathroom while Peony is bathing. Instead of immediately retreating, he locks the door, creating a flustered and intimate confrontation that leaves him blushing intensely. Readers widely recognized and celebrated this predictable but beloved cliche, viewing it as a key step in resolving the couple's first major fight. Alongside the main plot, the chapter advances the fan-favorite side romance between Marie and Andy, with readers celebrating them as an official couple. Minor details include the reveal of a female knight and the reappearance of a recurring gag involving a hare. The chapter effectively uses a well-worn trope to shift the narrative from angst back to comedic vulnerability and romantic development.
