### Summary
The narrative continues its intense focus on Artezia’s psychological confrontation with her abusive mother, Miraila. Following Miraila’s manipulative, tearful apology, Artezia delivers a devastatingly cold rejection, dismissing her mother as "useless" rather than expressing personal hurt. This act is seen as a powerful and cathartic moment of breaking free from a narcissistic abuse cycle. Reader analysis highlights Miraila as a complex and layered villain, a tragic figure whose own trauma and twisted desire to protect her daughter from a similar fate fueled her inexcusable cruelty. While her motivations are understood, they do not grant her redemption. Artezia’s detached reaction is interpreted as a profound trauma response, a state of "despersonalization" that has kept her in survival mode. Her ability to comprehend her mother's circumstances without forgiving the abuse underscores her immense emotional burden and strength. The prolonged focus on this family trauma has sidelined the romantic plot, with many readers noting the continued absence of Cedric and expressing a desire for his return. Concurrently, small details have sparked fan speculation about a potential pregnancy for Artezia and the emergence of new, saintess-like powers.
