Both Ayacha and the aunt/relative person this chapter have me thinking the ground work's being laid to eventually rehabilitate Rua's image.
Not sure if that's actually the case, or if this is people around her having tons of patience and giving her the benefit of the doubt--until she proves all efforts and good-will are futile and she's ultimately brought low.
But...even with the crazy powerleveling battle manga subtheme to this, I don't know if it's also the sort of title that'll actually commit to "the antagonist fully losing", and instead she'll ultimately be redeemed by the infinite patience and virtuous actions of the various heroines (since the ML's written her off entirely, at this point at least).
Guess we'll see.
