### Summary
This chapter shifts to a critical political revelation, as Duke Salvator and Leslie finally disclose the truth of Arendo's parentage to Emperor Pistore and the newly introduced Empress Artuel. The Empress makes a memorable debut, portrayed as a fun and endearing character whose habit of emerging from hidden places is humorously identified as the source of her son Prince Consten's similar antics. In a lighter subplot, Duke Salvator teaches Leslie self-defense, leading to a comical scene where she arms herself with a twig to confront a figure in the bushes, widely presumed to be Consten. Readers celebrated Leslie's new, more mature appearance in a pantsuit and bun. While there is widespread relief that this crucial secret was not dragged out, the disclosure escalates the political tension significantly, sparking anxiety over the emotional devastation for the imperial couple and the inevitable rebellion from the Dowager Empress Medea now that her conspiracy is exposed.
