Still reeling from the Emperor's political betrayal, Elise finds herself facing another of his manipulative schemes when he sends the kind, elderly Duchess to her with a message. The visit turns into a medical emergency as the Duchess suddenly collapses, displaying symptoms that readers recognize as Parkinson's disease, instantly creating a high-stakes, emotional crisis. This is widely seen as a calculated test by the cunning Emperor, forcing Elise to once again prove her genius by saving a beloved figure. While fans speculate the Emperor's fixation on Elise is tied to a past love for her mother, they are simultaneously frustrated by his machinations, which use a life-or-death situation as a plot device to further trap Elise on the path to becoming empress.
