### Summary
The shocking mystery behind Grand Duke Hann's cold shoulder is revealed to be a case of extreme romantic denseness. In a hilarious internal monologue, Hann attempts to rationalize his profound attraction to Riella as a purely pragmatic interest in her magic flowers, all while his mind wanders to vivid daydreams of a future with her and their child. This spectacular level of self-deception has readers howling, especially with the addition of a new running gag: the exasperated ghost of the late Duchess, who looks ready to rise from the grave to slap some sense into her grandson. While some fans find his behavior inexcusable, most are won over by his earnest, if idiotic, pining, leaving only one question unanswered: why is Riella needed for this dangerous mission?
