### Summary
This chapter marks the significant introduction of the novel’s original protagonists: a black-haired man named Isak and a beautiful blonde woman named Deloah. Reader reception is immediately divided and speculative. Isak is largely perceived as goofy, naive, and potentially unintelligent, with many fearing he is merely a puppet for his companion. Deloah, while considered gorgeous, is viewed with intense suspicion, with fans labeling her a potential "manipulative bitch" or "wicked mastermind" despite hoping she will become a friend to the female lead. This tense arrival is balanced by continued wholesome interactions with the young prince, Theodore (Teo), who endears himself to readers further by learning to ride a horse under the pure, mistaken belief that his brother Kyle is obsessed with them. The protagonist, Joe (Geumja), remains comically oblivious to the royal identities surrounding her, and her focus on the stables leaves her unprepared for the appearance of the story's original main characters. Their arrival is seen as a major turning point, escalating the plot and leaving readers to question whether these new figures will be allies or antagonists.
