Helio Niccolo's Fate In 'Your Throne'

SpoilerDiscussion

To all the non fast-pass readers, there are huge spoilers ahead!!

'Your Throne' finally returned last week after a much-needed but long break and of course, the author is popping off with the storyline now that we see Medea fully return back to her self. However, I was going through Naver Webtoon's releases and the newest chapter had the title 'Peripeteia' on it.

For those of you who are Fast-pass readers and maybe even keeping with Naver's releases, it's getting terrifying to see how close Helio has become to death. We saw how Medea has started to become her old, scheming self; one that didn't bow down when the stakes got higher. She and Eros have all the cards on the table now that the secret of her body-swapping is out plus, Eros's confirmation that Medea is deeply in love with Helios and would do whatever it takes to keep him safe.

When I googled what 'Peripetiea' meant, this is what it had to say:

Peripeteia is a sudden change in a story which results in a negative reversal of circumstances. Peripeteia is also known as the turning point, the place in which the tragic protagonist’s fortune changes from good to bad. This literary device is meant to surprise the audience, but is also meant to follow as a result of a character’s previous actions *or mistakes. (*I attached the link to the website too if you wish to go through it fully here.)

Now whatever this is, especially since it is titled for a chapter that is specifically focusing on Helio's escape from the empire, I am frankly TERRIFIED. We just witnessed Medea and Heli's reconciliation, we're seeing how genuinely fickle Eros is when it comes to figuring out Medea (he STILL thinks she's mad at him for not choosing her back then which was so funny and in-character for him. Because what do you expect from a guy who assumes he knows the world yet fails to comprehend complex human emotions?) and we are SO close to see Medea start her journey to kill of both Eros and his stupid jerk of a butler.

I theorized, even after looking through the chapter, that maybe Helio might be discovered by Perion or his second-in-command(I forgot the dude's name. The guy that contacts Medea after her coronation about Perion), would be taken to their hiding place and be cured by divinity (hopefully). But then, we still don't know Psyche's mental state. Who knows if she has regressed into a deeply resentful woman who is struggling to understand her real identity after her curse broke? What if her negative emotions towards Helio (regarding the past and how he hated her in the beginning of the story) interfere with their alliance?

But then again, Medea's plans have always been long-winded but did she predict this? What role will the Princess of Alpere play? Will Medea employ her as her secret ally?

Psyche had a dream before she left with her father: A white-haired guy, presumably Helio was asking her if she would show up at his wedding. What does this mean?? Is it a crumb by the author that Heli will, in fact, live and marry the woman he loved deeply? And what is the significance of the necklace that Helio has, right now? I saw a commentator on Naver point it out that it is from the prologue but I seriously can't find the specific chapter for it.

After all the heartbreak that the main cast went through, would it be a good move to kill off the one guy who was the only unsolvable factor in Medea's life ( her assumption that Heli might stop following her after her marriage with Eros and that he understood that she too loved him back ONLY for Heli to scoff at her because he knew Lady Medea never loved him was DIABOLICAL and a stroke of genius).

I need to know some good theories from y'all about this since this story also is inspired from Greek Mythology so I was wondering how the author is taking that route now that we are reaching the real conflicts of the story.
