### Summary
The narrative pivots from cosmic fatalism to political intrigue, centered on a shocking revelation delivered through gossip. A servant, whom readers immediately distrust as a potential trap-setter, informs Joe that a rival prince—identified in comments as Deloah's candidate, Isak—is illegitimate. This bombshell is considered the "biggest shock of the story so far," igniting intense reader speculation about its validity and the true origin of the prince's royal red eyes, a trait supposedly inherited from the king. Many readers fear this is a calculated ploy to exploit Joe's perceived naivety and "big mouth," potentially leading to her execution for spreading rumors. This shift to court drama sidelines the central romance, with numerous comments expressing a longing for more moments between Joe and Kyle. The chapter also underscores the prolonged absence of other key figures, as readers question the whereabouts of Sir Benji and Teo, who feel "erased" from the plot following the previous arc's tragedies. While intrigued by the "juicy" drama, the audience remains divided, with some suggesting Joe should form a strategic alliance with Deloah to secure a peaceful future for Kyle, while others are simply frustrated by her actions and the story's new direction.
