### Summary
The narrative shifts focus to the corrupt heart of the empire, where Prince Henrique’s deep-seated insecurities erupt upon learning of his wife Anessa's second pregnancy. Readers are united in their disgust, lambasting him as a pathetic, hypocritical "man child" whose paranoia about a new heir is a direct projection of his crippling inferiority complex toward his sister, Graciella. His tantrum, blaming his wife for a pregnancy he caused, has solidified his image as an unfit ruler, with many fans eagerly anticipating his karmic downfall. This domestic crisis starkly contrasts with Graciella's recent display of leadership during the plague, where she has begun to prove her worth even in exile, despite facing open hostility from her own soldiers. While Anessa earns sympathy for her quiet suffering under her monstrous husband, Graciella remains trapped in a web of deceit, caught between the suspicious motives of her ex-fiancé, Billian, the new threats posed by Kano and Jessica, and the unresolved cliffhanger of an unknown arrival. Henrique’s fear of being usurped is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, as his own instability fuels the very rebellion he sought to prevent by exiling the only person capable of ruling.
