### Summary
The simmering tension from the previous chapter erupts as Duke Dreux's tsundere jealousy, ignited by Nöel's interaction with a blond antagonist, reaches its peak. In a dramatic public display at the social gathering, he confronts the man before passionately kissing Nöel, a moment that readers overwhelmingly celebrate as a major romantic milestone. This act, his first genuine kiss with her post-spell, is punctuated by his intense declaration, "I thirst for her," a line that has become the chapter's focal point and a source of widespread reader excitement. While the kiss is largely seen as a triumphant step forward in their relationship, solidifying the Duke's authentic feelings, some readers express disappointment that it was motivated by jealousy rather than pure affection. The public nature of the confrontation also draws attention, with at least one observer noting the discordance between the couple's awkward dynamic and their official "love at first sight" story, foreshadowing potential future scrutiny and conflict.
