### Summary
In the current chapter, Aria continues her risky venture into gambling, heavily and visibly relying on the power of her mystical hourglass to cheat and secure winnings, a decision that causes significant anxiety among readers regarding potential consequences. The community is deeply divided over the hourglass's side effects, with many fearing its repeated use is rapidly aging her, giving her the physique of a woman in her twenties despite her young age, though spoilers suggest it merely corrects her previously stunted growth from malnourishment. Her increasingly mature and lavish fashion sense is noted as a reflection of her growing confidence and cunning. While some readers defend her resourcefulness in building her own fortune, others criticize the blatant use of such a powerful artifact for trivial gains and fear she will draw dangerous suspicion from the casino and her enemies, particularly as she carries the hourglass so openly. The subplot concerning Crown Prince Asher’s reluctance to reveal his identity, a stark contrast to his earlier confidence when he mistakenly pursued Mielle, continues to be a point of contention and frustration.
