### Summary
This chapter pivots sharply from political intrigue to introduce a new character, Ethan, who serves as Carnelia's personal guard assigned by Prince Caesar. Reader reception is overwhelmingly focused on Ethan, who is characterized as a "cute but deadly" knight with a significant weakness for sweets. A central conflict arises when Carnelia's brother confronts her, attempting to physically harm her for the second time. This event sparks intense reader frustration, with many questioning why Carnelia remains passive and why her guard, Ethan, does not intervene, leading to discussions about royal protocol and the abuse the original Carnelia likely suffered. While the confrontation introduces a serious domestic threat, much of the chapter's focus is on developing Ethan's character, whom Carnelia seems to win over with food. She recognizes that the prince has sent her an "inhuman monster," acknowledging his deadly capabilities despite his soft appearance, a trait that readers frequently compare to characters from other popular series. The narrative completely sets aside the previous chapter's mystery surrounding Oscar, instead highlighting Carnelia's immediate personal dangers and her growing collection of loyal, attractive allies.
