### Summary
The current chapter delivers swift and dramatic karmic retribution, as the shaman's prophecy from the previous installment comes to fruition. In the direct aftermath of the Queen's hubris in striking the shaman, both the King and the Queen have collapsed, an event met with overwhelming celebration and schadenfreude from the readership. The audience reaction is dominated by gleeful declarations of "deserve" and "karma," with many expressing a fervent hope that the two antagonists die. While the shaman's terrifying, "jumpscare" appearance continues to startle readers, she is now firmly established as a powerful supernatural force. This sudden incapacitation of the Crown Prince's primary political rivals is immediately interpreted as a massive power shift in his favor. Readers are actively speculating that the King's death will clear Lee Hyun's path to the throne, effectively ending the Queen's machinations unless her faction attempts a coup.
