# WebtoonLib — Taming the Marquess #78 ## Series - title: Taming the Marquess - slug: taming-the-marquess-8e211d ## Chapter - number: 78 - release_date: 2025-05-11 ### Summary Following the dramatic rescue of an ice-encased Eskal by Laranora and his sister Shinnuy, the central couple is reunited, but their victory is short-lived as Eskal remains unconscious, fueling significant reader impatience. The primary conflict immediately pivots back to the political machinations of the obsessive Emperor Hazen, who continues to antagonize the couple, with the rescue party now facing the threat of being branded as criminals for treason. The source of Laranora's newfound power and immunity to the magical ice has become the central mystery, with overwhelming fan speculation favoring the theory that she is pregnant with a magically-gifted child. This popular hypothesis is bolstered by a comically suggestive line of dialogue about feeling the "magic of Dyck," which has become a major point of reader amusement. While a secondary plot involving a blue dragon and a possible reincarnated past continues to simmer, the narrative's immediate tension is driven by Eskal's incapacitation and the looming threat of the Emperor, leaving readers mired in angst and desperate for the couple's happy ending. - summary_source: graph_aggregator - summary_verification: unverified ## Spoiler - level: auto ### Safe teaser Following the dramatic rescue of an ice-encased Eskal by Laranora and his sister Shinnuy, the central couple is reunited, but their victory is short-lived as Eskal remains unconscious, fueling significant reader impatience. ### Spoiler summary Following the dramatic rescue of an ice-encased Eskal by Laranora and his sister Shinnuy, the central couple is reunited, but their victory is short-lived as Eskal remains unconscious, fueling significant reader impatience.
