### Summary
The narrative flashes back to unravel the heartbreaking origin of Izana Kurokawa's pain. A crushing revelation from the woman who raised him—that she is not his biological mother and he is of Filipino descent—shatters his sense of belonging. This profound feeling of abandonment, compounded by the "sweet lies" he was told about his connection to the Sano family, explains his deep-seated loneliness and twisted desire for power. The chapter reframes the fallen king not as a simple villain, but as a tragic figure broken by the discovery that he shared no blood with the family he so desperately wanted.
