### Summary
With King Yeonsan psychologically paralyzed by Concubine Noksu's machinations and Grand Prince Jin-seong pinned down on a distant battlefield, the coup in the capital escalates into a political gambit. The treasonous officials, led by corrupt elders, now attempt to legitimize their rebellion by appealing directly to the Empress Dowager. They present a fabricated narrative of widespread public discontent, falsely claiming the King has lost all popular support and that another prince is more beloved by the people. This transparently self-serving power grab is a direct response to their authority being challenged by the royal brothers. As this political maneuvering unfolds, the defense of the throne rests precariously on an untested unit of young noblemen, ironically tasked with fighting the very insurrection led by their own families.
