** Nam Jeon finds Bang-won badly injured and apparently unconscious.\\
'''You'd expect:''' Nam Jeon would know better than to tell his plans to his worst enemy, no matter how ill he seems to be.\\
'''Instead:''' He tries to strangle Bang-won, then gloats that he's going to get influence over the crown prince and will become the real power behind the throne. This comes back to bite him when Bang-won reveals he wasn't really injured.
** Bang-won offers to spare Bang-seok's life if Queen Sindeok supports him.\\
'''You'd expect:''' She would accept his offer. Her main ally Nam Jeon is notorious for being untrustworthy, and if she insists on putting Bang-seok on the throne it will inevitably end in civil war.\\
'''Instead:''' She's so determined to see her son become king that she refuses Bang-won's offer, and in the process ensures Bang-seok will be killed.
