### Summary
Following Hwayeon's successful abduction, a new layer of dramatic irony has been introduced, as a note left behind has tragically misled her family into believing she ran away. While her father, Chung Ryu, grieves what he perceives as a voluntary departure, Prince Muyeong is spearheading a violent search for Hwayeon, who remains hidden under her male alias, "Yun." The prince's methods have escalated into brutal "negotiations" with the kidnappers, including a newly identified man named Munjo and a female antagonist, with Muyeong's use of force against them eliciting cheers for retribution from readers. The current tension hinges on this divergence: Hwayeon's family is paralyzed by a misunderstanding, while Muyeong single-handedly unleashes his "beast" side to rescue his partner, fueling intense anticipation for a bloody reunion and the kidnappers' violent comeuppance.
