### Summary
Following Duke Zeronis Philen's dramatic, last-second rescue of Ripley, the narrative shifts to the immediate and humiliating confrontation with Prince Sharman. The Prince's scheme to assault and discredit Ripley completely backfires, resulting in his public downfall. Zeronis's return from the war front turns the tables, as he fiercely protects his wife, leaving the Prince utterly outplayed. The ducal staff, whose loyalty to Ripley has solidified, plays a crucial role in this public shaming. In a particularly celebrated moment, the household chef delivers a scathing insult, comparing the superior Duke to "prime wagyu beef" and the inferior Prince to "chicken breast steak." Sharman's attempts to spread lies are rendered useless against the backdrop of the Duke's clear devotion and the unwavering support of the entire household, including Ripley's maid, Sylvia. This chapter serves as a moment of intense catharsis for readers, who revel in the satisfying and decisive defeat of the universally despised Prince, celebrating the triumph of the central couple and the loyalty of their allies.
