### Summary
Reader speculation is at an all-time high as Eskal appears to be hosting a ball to find a bride, yet Laranora has conspicuously not received an invitation. This has sparked outrage and a flurry of theories, with many suspecting Eskal’s recently introduced sister is sabotaging the situation, possibly using Laranora’s brother as leverage. Others believe it's a convoluted ploy by Eskal himself to provoke Laranora's jealousy or get her attention, with some optimistically hoping her invitation will be for their own wedding. The chapter also introduces a mysterious and handsome older man, immediately dubbed a "DILF" by the community. Fans are debating his identity, with popular theories suggesting he is Eskal's butler, his long-lost father, or even the king, pointing to his silver hair and a noticeable burn scar on his hand as potential clues. Amidst the ongoing jokes about the "Dyck" surname and readers volunteering as tribute for Eskal's hand, there's a growing curiosity about Eskal's supposedly isolated past, as he seems to have more allies than his "murderous lunatic" reputation would suggest.
