### Summary
The chapter focuses on a tense confrontation where Crown Prince Lee Hyun is provoked by court officials, causing him to erupt in a terrifying rage and draw his sword. Reader analysis overwhelmingly identifies this outburst not as simple anger, but as a severe PTSD episode stemming from the trauma of being forced into war at age fifteen. This "madness," where the Prince appears to lose his senses, is seen as the origin of the malicious rumors about his instability, which his jealous father, the King, and other political enemies exploit. The officials are condemned as hypocritical cowards for antagonizing the hero who saved them. In the aftermath of this trigger, Court Lady Eun-Woo is summoned to the Prince's side, positioning her in a classic "only she can soothe him" role, with readers hoping she can be his "painkiller" and source of peace. A notable side observation is the strong chemistry between the Prince and his bodyguard, which readers feel explains the in-universe rumors about their relationship.
