### Summary
The flashback continues to unravel the Valdemar family’s foundational tragedy, revealing the Duchess’s monstrous capacity for self-preservation. To protect the secret of her demonic infant, Johannes, she makes a horrifying choice, allowing the nanny Griselda’s husband to be publicly burned at the stake after he witnesses the child’s true nature. The act is rendered even more depraved by the stunning revelation that the man she condemns is her own half-brother. In the aftermath, the Duchess offers a hollow pardon to the now-widowed and miscarrying Griselda, callously pleading, “And don’t hate me too much.” This profound betrayal cements the Duchess as a ruthless figure, whose desperate act of survival becomes the catalyst for Griselda’s future revenge—the baby swap that will introduce the illegitimate Winfried into the Valdemar line and perpetuate the cycle of misery. The event re-frames Griselda’s motivations from simple servitude to a long-simmering vengeance born from unimaginable loss.
