### Summary
This chapter shifts focus from the central romance to character development, sidelining Emperor Dhan and leaving many readers longing for more of the main couple's interactions. The narrative instead highlights the burgeoning and "adorable" friendship between Bayan and her new maid, who is widely praised as a caring and loyal ally providing crucial guidance on palace life. A major revelation centers on Bayan's mother, whose previously vague instructions are now understood by readers as a deliberate, long-term "matchmaking" plot to position her daughter to become Empress and fulfill a prophesied destiny. This is humorously punctuated by Bayan's naive quest to find a specific pond her mother mentioned, leading to jokes that she will now investigate every body of water in the palace. However, Bayan's character is becoming a point of polarization; while some find her cluelessness cute, a growing number of readers express frustration, calling her "stupid" and "annoying," a stark contrast to her earlier resilience. The underlying moral conflict regarding Dhan's violent past also persists, as some struggle to reconcile his history of slaughter with his newfound gentleness.
