### Summary
This chapter deepens the comfortable intimacy between Peony and Richt, moving their dynamic into a phase of playful affection and comedic interactions. While Richt remains outwardly grumpy, his growing feelings are evident through his frequent blushing and small, caring gestures, such as providing food and letting Peony sit on his coat. Readers celebrate this evolution, praising their natural chemistry and "skinship," with many describing Richt's new persona as an "annoyed single dad" endearingly tolerating Peony's antics. Alongside the main couple, a secondary romance between the popular side characters Andy and Marie has captured significant reader attention, with many enthusiastically shipping the pair due to Andy's handsome appearance and nonchalant personality. The chapter also advances the central plot, as fan speculation intensifies around the "suspicious" coup in Richt's past. The prevailing theory is that Richt staged the event, possibly to protect Hestia, who is now viewed with distrust. This narrative is supported by perceived inconsistencies, such as Richt's rule-abiding nature and the fact that he was banished rather than executed for treason. The chapter effectively balances this lighthearted fluff with growing plot tension, as an ominous arrival leaves readers feeling nervous for what's to come.
