### Summary
In a disastrously executed reunion, the adult Marquess Eskal Van Dyck finally reveals himself to Laranora by "rescuing" her from a group of thugs. However, his chosen method—incinerating an attacker with his infamous fire magic—serves only to confirm Laranora's worst fears about his ruthless reputation. While readers are captivated by Eskal's handsome appearance, they are collectively face-palming at his terrible first impression, which directly plays into the violent rumors she already despises. Many also express frustration that the supposedly capable Laranora was sidelined into a classic damsel-in-distress role, unable to defend herself before her feared and fated man intervened.
