### Summary
Picking up immediately from the previous chapter’s cliffhanger, the awakened "beast" prince Muyeong moves with astonishing speed, arriving to rescue the framed and imprisoned Hwayeon before her own family can reach her. The anticipated bloody retribution is momentarily sidelined by a dramatic and public confrontation with both the Emperor and Hwayeon's father, the Chancellor. In a masterful stroke, Muyeong turns the accusation of stealing a palace stone into a stunningly romantic confession. He declares that while he may have taken treasures, Hwayeon herself is the greatest and most precious "palace treasure" he has stolen, a revelation that leaves both fathers reeling in comical shock. This grand, heartfelt admission marks a major turning point in their clandestine relationship, shifting the narrative from peril to a deeply moving public declaration. However, the threat of a brutal reckoning for the conspirators who orchestrated Hwayeon's imprisonment still looms, as Muyeong's fierce, protective nature promises that a violent response is yet to come.
