Bound to Love in a Deadly Game - Episode 8

At a private table, a human mixologist lifts the Countess from a sour mood by presenting a Bloody Mary. She calls the drink a miracle and installs the server as her personal bartender. He vows he'll 'suck whoever dry' who dares touch her, and the Countess publicly favors him. Staff react in shock—some fear Ms. Morgan will be angrier, others marvel at his tricks. The celebration immediately fractures when a territorial rival accuses him of flirting with women on his ground and demands an explanation. The appointment is contested, leaving the new protector's role and the Countess's favor unresolved.
