### Summary
Following the recent rescue of a handsome, blue-haired slave, now identified as Namuel, the narrative explores his developing bond with Rainelle. The chapter's pivotal scene involves Rainelle bestowing a gift upon Namuel, an act that readers comically misinterpreted as her defecating on him before it was revealed to be a petal, likely part of a friendship bracelet. This gesture has intensified reader speculation that Namuel is being established as a "second male lead," creating a divisive reaction. Many fans are concerned about the introduction of a love triangle, vocally warning Namuel that Rainelle is the "future Empress" and already committed to Prince Camute. While some express frustration at this new romantic complication arising just before Camute's critical duel with his brother Llywelyn, others hope the relationship remains platonic to spare Namuel from future heartbreak. This character-focused chapter builds upon the controversial events of the last, where the mage Myrddin purchased Namuel from his abuser, and shifts the story's immediate tension from the impending royal battle to the potential for new interpersonal drama and misplaced affection.
