Stunned by My Howling Princess - Episode 5

In a public confrontation a woman hurls insults at another, invoking the Regent Lord and threatening to ruin her reputation unless she marries to save face. Both women spit back refusals, escalating humiliation. The scene cuts to Yavine doubled over in pain — poisoned. A second person admits they were set up by "her" and only sought Yavine to cure the poison. Because Yavine already profited from the situation, they strike an uneasy bargain: call it even. The poison remains, "her" motive is unanswered, and the reluctant alliance hangs unresolved.
