### Summary
This chapter marks a significant turning point as Nöel resolves to stop considering escape, declaring that "running away is not the answer." This decision has overwhelmingly frustrated the readership, who are now vocally advocating for her to leave. The primary catalyst for this sentiment is the Duke's behavior with the blonde rival; readers are incensed that he allows the woman to cling to his arm, viewing it as a disrespectful and hypocritical act that contradicts his previous lecture on dignity. While most readers label the blonde woman a "homewrecker," a minority expresses sympathy for her, noting she was raised to marry the Duke and loves his true self. Amidst the romantic conflict, a new piece of the Duke's backstory is hinted at through a strange aversion to the circus, prompting reader speculation about a past trauma or a connection to the curse. Nöel's character remains a subject of debate, with some defending her naivety as a product of a neglected upbringing, while many others are exasperated by her indecisiveness and perceived lack of survival instinct. The overall reaction is one of intense debate over Nöel's controversial choice to stay and fight for a man who currently seems unable to stand her.
