### Summary
The latest chapter centers on a controversial development where Empress Hestia and Mikhail present engagement rings for Richt to propose to Peony. This act has been met with widespread disapproval from the readership, who feel the gesture is an inappropriate and unwelcome intrusion into the couple's relationship. The dominant sentiment is that Richt should choose the rings himself to make the proposal meaningful, and Hestia's involvement is seen as particularly egregious given her past with him. Readers have criticized the rings as "tacky" and "disgraceful," while labeling Hestia's actions as "sticking her nose too much in their business." While a few readers defend her intentions, suggesting she is merely trying to prompt the "emotionally constipated" Richt into action, most find her "shady" and suspect she is scheming. This event has amplified the sense of impending doom noted in the previous chapter, with fan anxiety now focused on Hestia as a source of conflict. Amidst the frustration, some readers found humor in Peony's "chaotic" energy and her outfit, which one compared to Fiona from Shrek.
