## Chapter
- number: 80
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
Ripley’s established pattern of poor judgment escalates as she recklessly pursues her resilient antagonist, Rose, the very person who has repeatedly tried to kill her. This decision has left readers frustrated, questioning both her logic and her safety. The conspicuous absence of any guards for a Duchess has become a central point of contention, directly fueling the ongoing mystery from the previous chapter: the true nature of her marriage to Duke Zeronis. This lack of protection reinforces the fan theory that a significant secret, likely held by the character Wright, has yet to be revealed about their union's official status. The chapter's tone shifts towards suspense and horror, with a particularly unsettling scene involving children that readers found creepy. While the complex dynamic between Ripley, Wright, and the absent Duke remains a point of discussion, the narrative is driven by the immediate danger posed by Ripley’s naivete and the unresolved questions surrounding her marriage and security.
