### Summary
The central focus of this chapter is the dramatic subversion of the original plot, as Yunifer's attempts to pair the main leads have instead positioned Ishid and Raelle as direct rivals for her affection. Readers are overwhelmingly amused by this unexpected love triangle, noting that Ishid shows zero interest in Raelle, whom he views as a "pest" for getting too close to Yunifer. This reveal has led to speculation that Ishid has harbored feelings for Yunifer since their academy days, a significant deviation from the source novel. The confrontation with the Crown Prince, Cassian, is another key event, with readers praising Raelle for her "badass" comeback, turning his manipulative excuse—"I did it because I love you"—against him. While a theory suggests the prince's infidelity was a misguided attempt to protect Raelle, most readers remain unconvinced. Reader opinion is sharply divided regarding the female leads' interactions. Many feel deep sympathy for Raelle, viewing her as a lonely "cinnamon bun" who is being treated with unnecessary cruelty by Yunifer. Conversely, a vocal minority finds Raelle annoying and self-absorbed for failing to respect Yunifer's boundaries. Despite understanding Yunifer's motive of self-preservation, her cold behavior is widely seen as harsh, creating a sense of conflict for the audience as this new, intense rivalry, with perceived "yandere" undertones from both Ishid and Raelle, begins to unfold.
