Episode 9 Synopsis: A Web of Secrets and Consequences
Following the intense events of Episode 8, where Casey’s assassination attempt on Prince Felix was thwarted by Monica, “The Hidden Secret” explores the immediate aftermath and the moral quandaries Monica must navigate.
The episode primarily focuses on Monica’s efforts to mitigate the fallout from Casey’s actions. Displaying her characteristic empathy, Monica advocates for leniency for Casey, employing some political maneuvering with Louis to ensure the incident is covered up. As a result, Casey is exiled to a convent, avoiding harsher punishment.
However, Monica’s decision to protect Casey inadvertently creates a new problem: Cyril, a friend of Monica’s, is now implicated and blamed for an accident involving falling wooden boards, an incident actually caused by Casey cutting the ropes. This places Monica in a difficult position, as her attempt to help one person has inadvertently harmed another she cares about.
Meanwhile, flashbacks provide insight into Elliott’s past bullying of the Prince, shedding light on the Prince’s current, strong interest in the “Silent Witch”. It is confirmed that Prince Felix remains unaware that Monica Everett is, in fact, the legendary Silent Witch. The episode further highlights Monica’s struggle with the dual identity and the increasing weight of her responsibilities and secrets.
