### Summary
The narrative pivots to external conflict with the arrival of the Second Prince, Hazen, who visits Laranora during Eskal's absence. His audacious complaint that "Eskal is all she talks about," followed by the intimate gesture of touching her cheek, has provoked a unified and hostile reader backlash. Fans overwhelmingly condemn the prince's hypocrisy and disrespect, pointing out the absurdity of his jealousy given that Laranora is Eskal's wife and he is in Eskal's home. The comments are filled with warnings of Eskal's violent retribution, with readers predicting the prince will be "grilled well-done" for overstepping his bounds. This has fueled speculation about Hazen's motives, with some theorizing he is deliberately sending Eskal on dangerous missions, possibly aware of his failing health, in a calculated attempt to win Laranora. While a few comments hint at a shared childhood history between Hazen and Laranora, it fails to generate any sympathy, as most readers view him as a cowardly opportunist who lost his chance. The incident also draws criticism towards Laranora, with some expressing frustration at her perceived passivity in the face of such a blatant advance, marking a new source of tension that directly threatens the couple's fragile bond.
