### Summary
The current chapter continues the flashback arc detailing the burgeoning romance between a young Duchess Azela and Duke Aetius Salvator, which has thoroughly captivated the readership. Fan reception is overwhelmingly positive, with many commenters expressing that they are more invested in the parents' origin story than the main plot concerning Leslie, with some demanding a full prequel series dedicated to the couple. The dynamic between the elder Salvators is celebrated as incredibly "cute" and endearing. Azela is lauded as a "smooth," dependable, and powerful figure, while the young Duke Aetius (Cyraine) charms readers with his "gap moe" appeal, contrasting his "bear"-like physique with a pure, blushing, and unintentionally flirtatious demeanor that fans adore. Their interactions are perceived as a mix of flirting and a date, solidifying their status as a fan-favorite pairing and prompting curiosity about the origin of Azela's own scars. This intense focus on the "love at first fight" backstory has momentarily overshadowed the main narrative, with readers delighting in the wholesome development of the beloved heads of the Salvator family.
