### Summary
The political atmosphere has reached a breaking point as King Yeonsan's deep-seated psychological trauma, stemming from his mother Queen Yun, erupts into open violence. Provoked by the incessant and condescending pressure from court officials, whom readers describe as "arrogant old geezers," the king has committed a shocking and excessive act that marks the definitive "birth of the Tyrant." This event appears to be the beginning of the dreaded "first purge," a violent political cleansing that Grand Prince Jin-seong has been desperately trying to prevent. While some readers express a degree of understanding for the king's irritability, citing the maddening behavior of those surrounding him, his actions have clearly crossed a line. Furthermore, the king's instability is shown to have a new, dangerous dimension, with readers identifying a possessive "brother complex" or "yandere" tendency toward Jin-seong, adding a personal and obsessive layer to the unfolding political tragedy.
