### Summary
The chapter continues to focus on Crown Prince Muyeong's comical struggle with his feelings for Hwayeon, which he misinterprets as bloodlust. His internal turmoil manifests in aggressive actions, such as punching a wall and declaring he wants to "kill someone," a behavior his subordinates treat with nonchalant acceptance. Readers find this dynamic to be "pure comedic gold," overwhelmingly interpreting his violent urges as a euphemism for intense romantic and sexual attraction. The consensus is that the "emotionally stunted" prince is mistaking love for a desire to kill, with numerous comments joking that he wants to "devour" Hwayeon or "murder that bussy." While this portrayal has endeared the "big dumb dumb" Muyeong to the audience, a few readers note that his actions could be considered "red flags" if not for the story's fluffy tone. This chapter also reinforces existing criticism of Hwayeon's character, as readers continue to express frustration with her persistent naivety, specifically highlighting her failure to ask for Muyeong's name even after twenty chapters, which they feel detracts from her credibility.
