### Summary
Readers are overwhelmingly captivated by Sa Heonyoung's fierce protectiveness of Young, with many praising him as the ideal man for standing up to the royal family. This has intensified the chapter's central debate: the identity of the "real goblin." A strong consensus has formed that the sadistic and cruel Crown Prince is the actual goblin, exhibiting psychopathic tendencies, while Heonyoung displays more human-like compassion and morality. This belief fuels intense animosity towards the Emperor and Empress, whom readers label as "stupidly blind" and incompetent for misidentifying their sons and enabling the Crown Prince's tyranny while exploiting Heonyoung's competence to run the kingdom. The discussion is rife with speculation on how this "mistake" was made, with theories suggesting the Crown Prince was chosen simply for being the firstborn. This deep-seated hatred for the palace as the primary antagonistic force reinforces the palpable dread from the previous arc, with readers openly fearing that the royal family's actions will inevitably lead to a tragic end for the beloved couple.
