Prince Alfred attempts to rape Camellia during a beauty session. He grabs her by the wrists, bruises her cheek, and forces a kiss on her. When she tells him to stop, he calls her feisty. He tries to take off her clothes. He hints that he may have also assaulted Camellia's sister Edelweiss. She is able to defend herself, almost killing him, until someone else intervenes. Authorities say that they will banish him, but Princess Sophia arranges for him to marry one of her ladies in waiting, who is in love with someone else.

In the world of the book, there are miniature companion animals called teacup pets. Camelia learns from another Belle that Princess Sophia ordered a previous Belle to try to change her teacup crocodile into a teacup dragon. The attempt involved breaking its spine and neck bones to try to create wings. The Princess threw the animal out a window to try to make it fly, and it died. Another Belle in history killed a bird. Finally, meat and animal products are mentioned throughout the book.

When Camellia tries to change too many things at once in one of her beauty appointments, the recipient starts vomiting. Camellia herself vomits at a party from nervousness and motion sickness, and then later in the book from being poisoned.

A common punishment that is used by the monarchy in this world is throwing people in what are called "starvation boxes." Moreover, the Belles' beauty treatments are so painful, often causing their recipients to scream in pain or throw up, that they can be thought of as torture also. Princess Sophia coerces Camellia into giving someone a pig nose against her will.

There are frequent discussions of blood. A character's blood fills with blood as they die. Another character starts bleeding after being poked with rose thorns.

A teacup crocodile's bones are broken to try to turn it into a dragon. Also, the beauty treatments that the Belles perform often involve breaking/altering bones. Princess Sophia purposely breaks Camellia's fingers.
