### Summary
Following the landslide orchestrated by High Priestess Debien, the chapter unfolds into a direct and tense psychological confrontation. Having witnessed Leslie’s shadow magic, Debien attempts to manipulate her by sowing seeds of doubt about the Salvator family, trying to poison Leslie against her new guardians. However, in a display of significant character growth, Leslie firmly rejects the priestess's attempts at brainwashing, demonstrating unwavering trust and loyalty to the family who saved her. This act of defiance has solidified Debien as a deeply despised antagonist among readers, who express visceral hatred for her manipulative and hypocritical nature, often considering her worse than previous villains like Empress Dowager Medea or Marquis Speràdo. Despite Leslie’s resolve, the confrontation has sparked considerable reader anxiety about the future. Many fear Debien will now expose Leslie's powers or that her words could create a misunderstanding arc, and they strongly hope Leslie communicates openly with her family to prevent falling into a predictable plot trap.
