Love, Friendship and Betrayal
Your Throne Chapter 9: Betrayal Of The Crown Prince
In Your Throne Chapter 9, Medea (in Psyche’s body) confides in Helio about her predicament: if she doesn’t marry the prince by the year’s end, she will return to her own body. Omitting the basement incident, she asks him to gather intelligence about the prince from the real Psyche. As they part ways, he gifts her something that brings a smile to her face, just as an imperial guard arrives. Later, he searches for Psyche (in Medea’s body) at the banquet, brushing off Lady Seira’s advances.
Meanwhile, in the gardens, Medea (in Psyche’s body) walks with the guards, inquiring about the prince. To her shock, they suddenly attack as a sword flashes and blood spills. Elsewhere, Helio discovers Psyche (in Medea’s body) in tears. Despite knowing her true identity, his heart aches at the sight. She laments her weakness compared to Medea, vowing to ruin her life’s work. He reassures her of Medea’s strength, and when Psyche asks if he loves her, he recovers from his surprise with a noncommittal answer.
In the imperial garden, the guard, mistaking Psyche for dead, is horrified to find her alive and filled with murderous intent as she kills a guard. With maniacal laughter, she demands to know whether the attack was ordered by the empire or the prince, ending Your Throne Chapter 9.
Your Throne Chapter 10: Survival Of The Fittest
In Your Throne Chapter 10, as mentioned in Your Throne Chapter 9, Medea (in Psyche’s body) threatens a guard for answers. Cornered as more guards arrive, the threatened guard recognizes her as no ordinary woman and urges his comrades to face her like knights. Medea quickly realizes that Psyche’s body is outmatched in combat. Meanwhile, Eros waits at the banquet for news of his fiancée’s demise. In another scene, Helio and Psyche (in Medea’s body) prepare to rejoin the festivities.
In the imperial garden, the real Medea fiercely fends off her attackers, noting that they are not the empire’s official knights. Outmatching the remaining two with ease, she threatens them again. The guards, now fearful for their lives, shrink back. Disheartened, Medea recognizes that she is fighting for survival instead of Psyche, realizing the god’s twisted fulfilment of her wish. Your Throne Chapter 10 ends with her resolving to end the fight quickly.
Chapter 11: Bittersweet Childhood
Your Throne Chapter 11 flashes back to Medea’s childhood. Her nanny presents her with a teddy bear, attributing the gift to the duchess to spare Medea’s feelings. It is clear that the nanny cares far more for Medea than her indifferent parents do. Her mother relentlessly pushes her toward perfection, while her father exploits her exceptional intellect, presenting her ideas as his own. The nanny yearns for Medea to experience true happiness, a sentiment the young girl cherishes. Yet beneath her yearning for affection lies a burning desire for revenge against her parents. This drive ultimately fuels her acceptance of her father’s proposal: a marriage to the crown prince, a path to power.

Chapter 12: Medea And Psyche In A Spiral
Your Throne Chapter 12 continues the flashback, revealing Psyche admiring Medea from afar but she is unsure how to approach her. Medea vents her frustration to Helio and believes that Psyche will stop her admiration once she understands her better. When men insult Medea in Psyche’s presence, Psyche bravely defends her, earning a slap for her efforts. Medea intervenes, smashing the man’s head in retaliation. This act of loyalty cements their friendship, with Medea as the “queen” and Psyche her “pawn.” As Medea begins to open up, her father shatters the fragile peace: her engagement to the prince is off, and he will choose his bride through a contest. This shocking revelation marks the end of the flashback.
Back at the banquet, Psyche-in-Medea is taken aback by Helio as his expression darkens when he spots the prince, whom the guards said was waiting for Psyche in the garden. The chapter ends with Helio realizing they have unwittingly walked into a trap.

Your Throne Chapter 13 plunges us into chaos as Helio bolts from the banquet, a panicked Psyche (in Medea’s body) trailing behind him.

Yet as fear threatens to overwhelm him, Psyche (in Medea’s body) reappears, calmly promising to guide him to the garden where the prince awaits.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the forest, Medea-in-Psyche fights for survival. Her strength wanes, but she knows she must press on. A jolt of fear strikes her as she realizes the final guard has discovered her weakness and lies in wait.

As the final round looms, each girl must demonstrate how she would care for the empire’s citizens as crown princess. Psyche is startled to see the Crown Prince. As she offers her answers, a startling realization hits Medea: the crown prince is smitten with Psyche. Undaunted, Medea vows to win at any cost, her confidence burning brighter than ever.

Medea’s nanny beams at the sight of her charge laughing with friends, but the mood shifts when Psyche, feeling unwell, prepares to leave. Helio escorts her out, prompting the nanny to remark on his apparent lack of affection for Psyche. He retorts that his trust lies solely with the nanny, the only one who would never betray her.
