yeah, he was kind of a jerk. plus he's pissy (you know how he gets when he's in denial lol). he did kiss min to shut him up, but at the same time, i think to spite nakyum (i'm assuming based on the way he reacted about figuring out nakyum was being submissive bc of inhun). i'm not sure what you mean by "power struggle" though.
and i agree about the seungho trying to trick the nobles theory. that's exactly the same way i viewed the scene.

Currently, Seungho's the most powerful of the nobles in that village, or in terms of bed matters: he's the most dominant, and this can be seen by how none of the nobles in that village has ever topped him. Not to mention there are several other hints that imply that he's pretty powerful but they're never in your face.
But now this position of his is being threatened since Min has pretty much implied that he wants that position and has been chipping away at Seungho's influence over the nobles. He's even trying to act like Seungho lol, with him smoking while staring off into the distance. Also, the nobles seem to be with Min more than Seungho, a sign that Seungho's influence over the nobles is weakening.
The conversation between Seungho and Min during the hunt was Seungho basically saying "I know your schemes and I will stop you." So yeah, there's a power struggle between them.

imo, seungho's not the kind of person to let others' words affect him. he's playing a game, but, idk what kind. tbh, it's hard to imagine him letting others touch nakyum given how possessive he was of him in all the earlier chapters.
(i'm referring to the seungho's last quote where he says, "fine. let us enjoy him together.")
Seungho seemed like a jerk in the latest chapter but since I can’t understand Korean, I’d prefer not to base my image on him on a likely inaccurate interpretation. Maybe Seungho’s trying to trick the nobles? The power struggle between him and Min seems to be kinda rough right now.
