### Summary
This chapter elicits a powerful emotional response from readers, focusing on the tender and protective bond forming between Bayan and the soldiers she healed. Now burdened by guilt, the battle-hardened men dote on Bayan, treating her with a kindness she never received from her own people. The emotional core of the chapter is a heart-wrenching scene where the soldiers witness Bayan sleepwalking and crying out for her deceased mother, a moment that moved many readers to tears. This prompts reflection on her past, with theories emerging that her healing powers may have only manifested after her mother's death, adding a layer of tragic irony to her story. In stark contrast, the narrative provides brief glimpses of Emperor Dhan, who continues his merciless slaughter within the palace. His only dialogue is the repeated phrase "I'm thirsty," which readers interpret as a literal bloodlust that only Bayan's unique blood will be able to quench. This juxtaposition builds intense anticipation for their eventual meeting, while also fostering a strong "Second Male Lead Syndrome" for the devoted soldiers who are now fiercely loyal to Bayan.
