### Summary
Following the violent incident where Lamille Claude brutally defended Roel Arnen, the narrative shifts to Roel's internal conflict as he seriously contemplates her renewed marriage proposal. While readers continue to celebrate the role-reversal dynamic, affectionately labeling Roel the "damsel in distress," his hesitation is not born of pride but of a pragmatic and realistic fear. The central issue, widely praised by the audience for its refreshing self-awareness, is the significant power imbalance between them. Roel worries that Lamille's feelings are temporary and that she will abandon him and his sister, Armi, once he is no longer in need of her protection, leaving them in an even more precarious situation. This has led to overwhelming fan speculation that the plot is heading towards a classic contractual marriage. Readers believe a formal agreement, such as a prenup or a contract with a substantial alimony clause, would provide Roel with the necessary "safety net" to accept Lamille's offer. While some readers view Lamille's timing as pressuring, most see her persistence as genuine and are eager for the couple to resolve the impasse, validating Roel's concerns while still moving the protective marriage forward.
