### Summary
The narrative advances directly into the foreshadowed trap, as Leslie meets with her former maid, Emroa. Despite the Salvator family's shared suspicion that the meeting was "too convenient," Leslie's trust in the maid, who once showed her kindness, overrides her caution. This leads to a critical and frustrating misstep: she angrily dismisses her protective knights for performing their duties, leaving herself vulnerable. The scene is rife with ominous signs, as a visibly distressed Emroa—theorized to be blackmailed with her baby held hostage by the Speràdos—gifts Leslie a suspiciously heavy bracelet. Readers overwhelmingly speculate that this bracelet contains the cursed chains designed to nullify Leslie's shadow magic. With the windows sealed and a fireplace ominously present, the setting strongly mirrors the Speràdos' previous fiery murder attempts. Leslie’s naivety, while understood by readers as a trait of her youth, has directly led her into a meticulously planned ambush, leaving her defenseless and on the verge of being captured or killed by her relentlessly cruel former family.
