The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter — Chapter 88

Whew, Chapter 88 of The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter brought the drama and some seriously good character introductions!

Readers are buzzing about Leslie finally getting ready to reveal her big secret, though many are side-eyeing the location – the Dowager Empress's garden is probably crawling with spies! 👀

The highlight for many was the debut of the Second Prince, Consten! His entrance *casually* rolling out of a bush had everyone cracking up 😂. He's immediately won hearts, described as adorable, a cinnamon roll, and a much better candidate for Emperor than his trashy older brother, Arendo. While some briefly wondered if he'd be a second male lead, the prevailing opinion is that he'll be a great friend and supporter for Leslie (maybe even paired with Selis?).

But the real showstopper? Conrad's arrival! 😍 Readers went wild over his grown-up look and perfect timing, swooning over his handsomeness and classic ML protectiveness. There was a minor debate about whether he already knew about Leslie's powers, but mostly just excitement about him stepping in. And let's not forget a shoutout for the ever-popular Sir Hart! Overall, a chapter filled with exciting new faces and swoon-worthy returns!
