### Summary
Following the public assault where she was pushed into a body of water, the narrative focuses on the immediate aftermath, though it leaves the identity of Hwayeon's rescuer ambiguous, creating confusion. The primary concern is Hwayeon's extremely fragile constitution, as her previous 12-year coma resulted from a single collapse, justifying the intense fear of her guardian, Gihae. In response to the attack, the crown princess selection is postponed to guarantee her safety. While readers demand a brutal, murderous retaliation against the assailants, Crown Prince Muyeong's reaction is shown through a surprisingly comedic lens as he beats a physician. The clandestine romance sees significant development; Hwayeon finally learns Muyeong's name, bringing her one step closer to discovering his royal identity. Muyeong, meanwhile, continues to conceal his status but makes a clear declaration of his feelings for her. The chapter balances the gravity of the attempted murder with humorous character interactions and raises new questions about secrets Gihae may have kept from the Ryu family.
