## Chapter
- number: 12
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
In the wake of her controversial night with the Duke, Ripley's desperation manifests in a new, comically absurd escape plan: becoming a nun. Her scheme quickly falls apart as she is confronted with the harsh, unappealing reality of a nun's livelihood, a discovery readers found hilarious and a fitting lesson for a rofan protagonist. The chapter was largely perceived as comedic, with fans delighting in Ripley's "goofy" and expressive scrambling and praising the dynamic with her exasperated maid, Sylvia, whose reactions were a highlight. However, this humor did not sit well with everyone. A vocal segment of the readership is growing increasingly frustrated with Ripley's incompetence, labeling her "insufferable" and an "idiot" for failing to grasp that she can influence the story's plot. This frustration feeds into the ongoing debate about the relationship's "toxic" nature, with some readers considering dropping the series. Amidst the comedy, the power dynamic remains, with Duke Zeronis perceived as effortlessly deflecting Ripley's chaotic plans, while a lingering question from the previous chapter remains as one reader wondered if Ripley simply forgot she "lost her v card."
