Taming the Marquess — Chapter 44

Whew, **Taming the Marquess Chapter 44** really took readers on a ride! We started off feeling all warm and fuzzy with sweet potatoes and Eskal making serious son-in-law effort (so cute! 😍), but things took a dark turn... literally!

Everyone is in shock over the consequences of Eskal using his magic to heal: not just exhaustion, but a terrifying black hand! 😱 Readers are pointing out that his power is usually for destruction, so healing comes at a heavy price, especially after he previously resurrected *a lot* of people. There's major concern for his health and worries he might sacrifice himself too much.

Amidst the angst, readers are debating the ultimate "Red Flag / Green Flag" paradox that is Eskal – yes, his past was destructive, but his devotion and willingness to risk everything for Lara and her family (even helping Kakar despite jealousy!) make him the "greenest red flag" ever. 🌱🚩 The biggest wish? That Lara truly falls for him and finds out just how much he's sacrificed for her and her loved ones. We're all on the edge of our seats!
