- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
Reader focus has shifted from the court mage Sears back to the developing relationships of the protagonist, Jerry. A major point of speculation revolves around a character's sudden appearance with green eyes, leading to theories of a magical disguise, especially since Sears was recently noted to have the imperial family's red eyes. The chapter's comedic core centers on Jerry's recurring clumsiness, as he is repeatedly chided for dropping his belongings. While this gag frustrates some, it amuses many. This chapter also marks a significant return to prominence for Fourth Prince Ilya, whose interactions with Jerry are widely celebrated as "cute" and "adorable," sidelining Crown Prince Karyan entirely. Lord Sears remains a key figure, now viewed as a "father figure," though his teasing dynamic with Jerry continues. The overarching romantic plot has taken a backseat to these character-focused moments of comedy, mystery, and endearing interactions.
