Synopsis

The chapter starts with characters discovering a secret bed and encountering the Queen, whose 'coquetry' is revealed to be a form of seductive magic. Despite its strength, many are immune due to prior exposure, and a character reveals familiarity with this power. Further on, a demon tries to seduce the characters, failing miserably, and gets brutally punished. The chapter ends with a discussion on why the people's reaction to their victory against the demons is lukewarm, and the Queen proposes a disturbing plan to have the public witness demon deaths to inspire them.
