### Summary
The current chapter escalates palace intrigue by introducing a widely reviled "misunderstanding" subplot, threatening to worsen the already strained relationship between Carnelia and Caesar. The conflict is ignited by the dense, red-haired knight, Jax, who overhears a conversation about the second prince, Noah, wanting to share a bed with Carnelia and Caesar. Jax misinterprets this innocent childhood memory as evidence of a current adulterous affair, sparking intense frustration among readers who criticize his foolishness and the use of this cliché plot device. While some hope Prince Caesar, who was present for the original event, can quickly dispel the rumor, others blame Carnelia for her carelessness. Concurrently, a secondary plotline reinforces the physical danger she faces as her guard, Ethan, is ambushed by bandits. This encounter serves to solidify Ethan's "cute but deadly" reputation, with readers confidently predicting his easy victory. These events unfold while the new antagonist, Oscar, is identified as the empress's right-hand man, fueling speculation that he is the true mastermind orchestrating events from the shadows.
