### Summary
This chapter introduces a young, endearing boy named Theodore (Teo), who is immediately met with affection from readers. The central focus is on the protagonist, Joe, who interacts with Teo in a casual, friendly manner, petting him and making him laugh, all while remaining comically oblivious to his true identity. Readers quickly discern that Teo is a prince and widely speculate that he is Kyle's younger brother, citing his pinkish-red eyes as evidence. This reveal casts an ominous shadow over the otherwise lighthearted encounter, as fans express immediate concern for Teo's safety. They fear he is destined to be killed, drawing parallels to Kyle's original fate and suggesting his non-standard eye color makes him a target within the royal family. Joe's characteristic denseness and inability to perceive sarcasm are once again highlighted as she unknowingly befriends royalty, a situation readers find both amusing and nerve-wracking. Despite the chapter being viewed as "filler" by some, the introduction of the cute-yet-doomed Teo has effectively raised the story's stakes.
