The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 52

Whew, **The First Night With the Duke Chapter 52** has everyone talking! 🔥 Our beloved heroine, Ripley, is definitely the star of this chapter, earning major praise for her incredibly human and relatable portrayal. Readers are absolutely smitten with how she's flawed, a little silly, and *struggles* – yet she persists and makes it happen, often by the skin of her teeth! Many loved that she felt like a real person, not just a perfect character with preternatural insights. It's a refreshing change from typical super-smart MCs! ❤️

But let's talk about the character who had everyone seeing red: the Prince! 😤 Readers are united in their fury, calling him a "bastard" and a "shrimp looking bastard prince." The overwhelming theory is that he's intentionally sabotaging the Duke's supplies and even started the war to get rid of him – whether it's for the Dukedom or to snatch Ripley (who clearly isn't interested!). People are genuinely hoping he gets his comeuppance! 🚩

Worried about the Duke? Don't be! Many fans are confidently (and humorously) declaring he's safe thanks to his trusty "plot armor." 😉 Overall, despite the frustrations with the Prince and some disloyal servants, readers found this chapter incredibly engaging and are super proud of Ripley for rising to the occasion! ✨
