### Summary
This chapter delivers a devastating emotional climax centered on the tragic death of the Queen's young son, Prince Shin-seong. Readers express overwhelming sympathy for the innocent child, who becomes the ultimate victim of his mother's and grandfather's insatiable greed for power. The narrative reveals that the prince's demise is a direct consequence of the Queen's own machinations; in a desperate attempt to curse Crown Prince Lee Hyun, she used her son's blood for a dark magic ritual. This act tragically backfired, fulfilling a shaman's earlier prophecy that only one of the royal brothers would survive. While heartbroken by the death of a blameless character who bore no animosity towards his half-brother, the audience largely condemns the Queen as a "foolish" and "monstrous" mother who sacrificed her own child. Her son's death is seen as a grim, self-inflicted punishment, solidifying her ultimate downfall and tragically eliminating the last potential rival to Lee Hyun's now-uncontested throne.
