### Summary
The narrative takes a dark and abrupt turn with the death of Empress Priscilla, who is killed by the Emperor after being manipulated by Deloah into a failed poisoning plot against Isak. Reader reaction is complex; while many feel she "reaped what she sowed," there is also significant sympathy for her father, "Grandpa Snow," and her sons, Kyle and Teo. Her death is seen as tragically ironic, as she died believing Kyle was gay and unaware of Geumja's true identity. This event has amplified audience frustration with the story's antagonists, particularly the Emperor, with numerous comments questioning the plot's logic and demanding to know why powerful figures like Kyle have not yet staged a coup against the "lunatic" ruler. The hatred for Deloah also remains intense, with readers calling for her to be the next to die. Amid the escalating drama, curiosity has resurfaced around the largely absent Isak, as readers debate his motivations and lament the lack of communication between him and Kyle that could potentially resolve the conflict. Overall, the chapter solidifies a significant tonal shift away from the story's comedic origins, leaving readers feeling the plot is becoming increasingly tragic and "going down hill."
