Since we live in modern times, this detail may not be noticeable but to me what is more incredible in this chapter is how many rules Seungho has broken with this. Nakyum is a lowborn. Jihwa is a noble. His father is an elder and a noble. Seungho just stormed into another noble's house with a sword making threats to him. Not only that but he didn't backed down when the elder of the house, someone that he probably would defer because of seniority, and he could have said anything to make a threat but he openly declared for anyone, the servants and the father, what was the reason he was there. He really said with all the words that Jihwa, a noble, would be killed if he harmed Nakym, a lowborn. I'm not a historical or Korean etiquette expert but it looks to me that this is like the kind of scandal and behavior that a society like that would not tolerate. A few chapters back Seungho wouldn't admit to Min or himself that he cared for the lowborn. Now he is openly daring to kill another noble for the boy. I imagine if this is not the kind of plot that would bring Yoon Father to town.
