The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 61

Whew, **The First Night With the Duke - Chapter 61** certainly left readers with a lot to unpack! If you're looking for a heartwarming fix, this chapter delivered. Many absolutely adored the dynamic between our beloved Ripley and Zeronis, with comments gushing about their undeniable cuteness and the Duke's adorable blushes. 🥰 It seems physical touch as a love language is a big hit, making everyone swoon over their chemistry.

However, prepare for a relatable wave of "I'm so single" comments! Clearly, Ripley and Zeronis are setting the relationship bar impossibly high. 😂 But not everything was sunshine and roses. A significant point of contention (and some serious unease) revolved around *that doll*. Many readers quickly identified it as "bad news" and "creepy," with some even getting unsettling Coraline vibes. 😨 The fact that it seems to connect to modern-day Ripley only amplifies the mystery and suspicion!

Other curious observations included the Duke looking more mature this chapter, the anachronistic use of "2.0" in a fantasy setting, and a surprisingly insightful business take on product scaling. All in all, it was a chapter that pulled at heartstrings while also sparking some delightful debate and a healthy dose of dread over a certain stuffed companion. 💖
