Synopsis

The chapter revolves around the announcement of the hunting competition results, with several nobles offering their hunts to Penelope Eckhart, including Marquis Berdandi and even the Crown Prince. Penelope initially refuses, but ultimately becomes the winner due to the sum of those offers and her own kill of a giant fire bear, which is likely a ruse by others. She receives a large sum of gold and gains the title of 'Queen of the Hunting Competition,' while also receiving her crossbow back, hinting at ongoing intrigue.
