### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from farcical misunderstanding to high-stakes drama, culminating in a painful confrontation between Kyle and Joe (Geumja). Overwhelmed by Joe's frantic but unsubstantiated warnings, Kyle has rejected her, slapping her hand away and dismissing her as suspicious. This act has sharply divided the readership; while many sympathize with the heartbroken Joe, a significant portion justifies Kyle's reaction, criticizing Joe's lack of tact and "stalker-like" obsession as justification for his distrust. The romantic angst is amplified by a critical, life-or-death development: the prophesied danger to Kyle's younger brother, Teo, has materialized, with readers fearing he is actively being poisoned. This escalation intensifies audience frustration with Joe's inability to formulate a believable cover story for her knowledge, viewing her as incompetent in her mission. Amid the tension, the kind knight Sir Benji earns praise for his honorable behavior in the love triangle. The prevailing sentiment is one of intense anxiety, with readers desperate for Joe to regain Kyle's trust to save Teo from his impending doom.
