1) The recommended hurt-inducer is allegedly a comedian/entertainer. Well, those people could also make the best ''spies'' or traders of sensitive, valuable information, so knowing who's who in the village/town would make the most sense. That, or simply having to be in the know, as an assassin when you get your target. Fresh order from a jilted noble, to ''usher to the finish line'' another noble's love&loin interest? And the second noble is THE Alpha of the region? I don't know, either the masked one is really good at his job and doesn't bat an eye to the whole situation, or... there's double crossing from this part, too. 2) Seungho is not only feared or secretly despised, he's also looked at with some sort of reverence by his noble peers. I don't know what he did for that, but it's more that just being born and virile. So my spidey senses are telling me that those men at the table will have some drinking to do at Seungho's table, soon. Some loyalty, there, based on an ancient, undisclosed story and camaraderie/bond.
Not a speculation, but a personal want:
If we're shown that Seungho does nothing about Jihwa and everything goes according to J's plan, easy-peasy, swish, no Na-ky, I'll lose respect for this story. Because the build up of Seungho's character has been impeccable so far, in how he read Na-kyum's weak spot, In-hun's greed, both these two's further approach, yet did (as far as the readers know) nothing about the obviously dangerous teacher. The one that was stirring up dirt (on him! under his own roof!) teacher. About a clearly scorned, snoopy noble. Even about whoever had the guts to fling open his bedroom doors while he was ''enjoying'' Na-kyum's.... Na-kyum's. Interruption which left him, the hungry wolf with a new fresh pray, wanting. So I don't know. The art's magical, the plot, divine, but to continue to add on sub-plots with some smut sprinkled here and there, while those aspects remain so vague would be a bit disappointing.
Don't want to leave this on a sad note, I love the story and how it surprises me every time, I may actually be in need of a happier ending or flow of events... (￣∇￣")
