### Summary
The lighthearted comedy of the barracks abruptly ends, plunging the narrative into a tense and heartbreaking chapter centered on betrayal. The source of the stress is the discovery of a spy within the rebellion's ranks, revealed to be Luna, a character who had formed a close and affectionate bond with Kasia. It becomes clear her treachery is not entirely of her own free will, as she appears to be magically controlled or manipulated by the sadistic Duke, turning her into an unwilling pawn in his schemes. This revelation sparks a tragic confrontation that shatters the fragile trust within the group, causing immense pain for Kasia, who is once again faced with betrayal from someone she was beginning to care for. The focus of animosity shifts squarely onto the Duke, whose manipulative cruelty is now seen as a more immediate and personal threat than the emperor's grander plans.
