## Chapter

### Summary
Following the violent events that seemingly confirmed King Yeonsan's descent into tyranny, reader perception has begun to shift. The narrative that the king is an absolute tyrant is now being questioned, with readers speculating that this portrayal might be a fabrication by the "insufferable geezers" of the court who, as they themselves note, are the ones who write history. This adds a layer of complexity to the political situation, suggesting everyone is engaged in their own power games rather than a simple conflict against a mad king. The chapter also subverts expectations with the introduction of Jang-gon. Anticipated by readers to be a "wicked ikemen," he is instead perceived as a goofy, mundane scholar who looks more like a trustworthy NPC or a supermarket employee than a sinister political player. This unexpected characterization, combined with comedic moments such as Grand Prince Jin-seong needing to be taught how to read, injects a surprising levity into the tense drama. While the king's instability and possessive "yandere" tendencies toward his brother remain a significant threat, the lines between hero and villain are becoming increasingly blurred.
