### Summary
Reader reception has become sharply divided over Eskal's behavior, with his act of burning the flowers being a major point of contention. Many readers now view him as "pushy" and "toxic," seeing his actions as controlling red flags that contradict his promises of devotion. However, a vocal contingent defends him, arguing this behavior is perfectly in line with the "Crazy Marquess" personality established from the start. This debate is rivaled by a wave of frustration aimed at Laranora's brother, Bryka, who is widely condemned for his hypocritical plan to marry her off to a stranger for her own "protection." The chapter's biggest revelation for the community is the striking physical resemblance between Eskal's aide, Beluca, and the Second Prince, Hazen, which has ignited rampant speculation. Readers are theorizing they are twins or relatives, leading to intense questions about Beluca's true allegiance and whether he is a spy or a double agent. This has also cast suspicion on the prince's motives, with many believing he is manipulating events for political gain. Amidst the ongoing "Dyck" surname jokes, the central impatience remains, as fans question when Eskal will finally reveal his past identity to a confused Laranora.
