### Summary
The current arc continues the chaotic, jealousy-fueled rivalry between Prince Kyle and his younger brother, Teo, as they engage in a prolonged and farcical competition for the attention of the oblivious Joe (Geumja). This childish bickering is the chapter's comedic centerpiece, generating intense second-hand embarrassment and cringe-humor for readers as Kyle's dignity crumbles in his one-upmanship against a ten-year-old. While overwhelmingly comedic, the conflict carries a poignant undertone, as the brothers' desperate fight for affection is rooted in their shared trauma and emotional starvation. Sir Benji remains a suffering observer, forced to witness the absurd fallout of the princes' rivalry. The plot introduces a significant new element with the arrival of the novel's original female lead, Deloah. Her appearance immediately sparks suspicion among readers, who speculate about her motives and connection to the novel's title, \*King Maker\*. A popular theory suggests she will become the next character to fall for the cross-dressing Joe, potentially adding a new romantic rival to the already complicated and nonsensical dynamic.
