### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from an impending war to a tense internal conspiracy, as King Cayden is being slowly poisoned by the queen's nieces. The queen, blinded by her historical prejudice against Northian and personal trauma, remains oblivious to her nieces' treachery and instead directs her frustration and suspicion towards Yessica's sister, Agnes. This has left Agnes dangerously isolated and framed as a potential culprit, with readers noting her passive and weak demeanor in the face of the accusations, a stark contrast to Yessica's rebellious nature. While some readers express frustration with Agnes's helplessness, others sympathize, arguing her compassionate character cannot thrive in such a hostile environment where any attempt to defend herself could lead to severe punishment. The situation is further complicated by the sudden reappearance of the villainous Duke Frederick, heightening the sense of immediate danger. Amidst this escalating crisis, Alex and Yessica are now traveling to the capital together, representing the primary hope to expose the plot, save the king, and protect the vulnerable Agnes from the converging threats.
