### Summary
This chapter focuses on Leslie solidifying her place within her new family through two significant events. The first is a heartwarming resolution to the previous chapter's cookie incident; the entire ducal staff works tirelessly, making 68 batches of cookies overnight, to create one that will successfully float in Leslie's hot cocoa. Her eventual triumph is met with exuberant cheers from the entire household, creating a moment of pure, childlike joy that readers found incredibly moving and a crucial part of her healing. The chapter then introduces the second brother, Ruenti, an intellectual who is initially cynical, viewing his family's doting over Leslie as "crazy" and vowing not to fall for her charms. However, his resolve shatters in an instant when Leslie reveals her deep knowledge of philosophy, bonding with him over a shared favorite philosopher, Nahirokia. This intellectual connection immediately wins Ruenti over, and he quickly joins the "Leslie cult," becoming another adoring brother. While celebrated for its wholesome fluff and humor, readers also noted the bittersweet undertone that Leslie's impressive knowledge is a direct result of the forced, abusive education she endured under the Speràdo family.
