### Summary
This chapter shifts focus to a direct confrontation with a shameless blonde woman, who provokes intense reader animosity by clinging to the married Duke's arm. However, the primary highlight is the dynamic between Nöel and the Duke's "true self." Readers overwhelmingly prefer his cold, "savage" personality to his bewitched "Ru" persona, celebrating his witty and harsh comebacks, particularly the line, "You dropped your dignity." The Duke's character is further explored through his jealousy of his own bewitched self and his surprise upon learning Nöel doesn't use his money. The chapter's tone is largely comedic, driven by the banter between the leads and a humorous subplot where Nöel is caught with "questionable books," leading to a chase. This interaction reinforces the growing reader consensus that the Duke's true personality is developing a subtle fondness for Nöel, independent of any magic. The Duke is seen as his own romantic rival, a source of great amusement for the audience, who now find the couple's angry interactions more compelling than their fairytale romance.
