The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 73

Oh boy, grab your tissues because Chapter 73 of The First Night With the Duke has readers in an absolute emotional chokehold! 😭 This isn't just sad; it's "who's cutting onions?!" levels of heartbreak, with many admitting they're sobbing at 3 AM or even *re-reading* this chapter specifically for the intense feels.

The main reason for the tears? Our beloved Duke Zeronis. Readers have a massive soft spot for crying MLs, and seeing him in such agony, pulling at everyone's heartstrings, really hits hard. The symbolic detail of the doll's hair turning black, foreshadowing Ripley's return to her original world and mirroring her earlier dream, was a gut punch that left many reeling. 💔

Despite the immense sadness and angst, fans are united in their love for this "beautiful and touching" chapter. Even the cat got a shoutout, with pleas for Ripley to "follow the cat and come back!" It seems everyone is ready for Ripley to wake up and just wants these two to finally be happy. This chapter truly delivered on the angst, and readers are here for it, even if it means hydrating for the tears ahead! 🥺
