### Summary
Baron Centas’s nefarious scheme culminates in a laughably inept assassination attempt, shocking both characters and readers with its sheer audacity and poor planning. During a grand party, the Baron triggers a chandelier to fall on Delius, prematurely declaring victory and attempting to usurp the ducal title in front of countless witnesses. The plot's failure is immediate and absolute. Completely unharmed, Delius Colliard steps back, ceding the floor to his wife to handle the blatant act of treason. In a defining moment of character growth, a stunned but resolute Leyrin bypasses any hesitation, condemning the Baron on the spot and ordering his immediate execution. This decisive action was met with overwhelming reader praise, celebrating her for subverting the "meek female lead" trope and embodying the authority of a Grand Duchess. The chapter’s climax perfectly encapsulates the couple's dynamic: Delius empowers his queen to pass sentence but tenderly covers her eyes to shield her from the ensuing bloodshed, solidifying their status as a true power couple. The swift, brutal justice served to the delusional Baron provided a deeply satisfying resolution for fans.
