### Summary
Following the attempted murder, the narrative focuses on Leslie's integration into her new protective family, the Salvators. A significant emotional highlight for the community is the moment Bethraon, still nursing his burned hands from the rescue, firmly declares Leslie is "my sister," cementing his acceptance of her and delighting readers with his protective nature. The chapter also features a tense encounter between Duke Salvator and Ellie. Readers noted the Duke's sharp perceptiveness as she immediately clocked the stark physical contrast between the healthy, well-fed Ellie and the clearly malnourished, undersized Leslie, recognizing it as undeniable proof of long-term abuse. This silent observation has solidified the Duke's image as an intelligent and maternal figure. Meanwhile, the debate surrounding Ellie's character intensifies; while some view her as simply selfish and foolish for attempting to get information from the Duke, many others express sympathy, theorizing she is a tragic product of her abusive upbringing, motivated by a deep-seated fear that she could easily become the next target of her parents' cruelty.
