### Summary
The conflict escalates as the fugitive Marquis Speràdo, now hiding amongst garbage, demonstrates a profound and dangerous ignorance regarding the "Ephialtes" box he possesses. Described by observers as delusional and stunningly stupid, he is unknowingly fulfilling the criteria to become the box's next sacrifice—a person consumed by vanity and selfishness—a role originally intended for his daughter, Ellie. This act of sheer incompetence has thrown the intricate plans of the Dowager Empress Medea into disarray. While readers acknowledge Medea's cleverness and level-headed ambition, they also perceive her as increasingly deranged, particularly her paradoxical view of Duke Salvator as a "frenemy" rather than a true enemy. Her schemes, which involve unleashing a deadly plague, are now failing due to the Marquis's unpredictable foolishness. Meanwhile, Leslie continues to frustrate observers by stubbornly ignoring repeated warnings from her allies and even her own powers, remaining fixated on a path of revenge. The situation has become a chaotic, multi-front struggle where the antagonists' own machinations are imploding, with the disgraced Marquis poised to become the ironic instrument of his own destruction.
