### Summary
The narrative has pivoted to a dense political subplot involving the convoluted family of Marquis Ruden, his illegitimate daughter Marchioness Camellia, and his legitimate daughter Grand Duchess Roygar. Artezia is shown actively manipulating this new faction, recruiting a young noblewoman named Skyla as a strategic pawn to further her long-term goals. However, this intricate web of new characters and their complex relationships has caused significant confusion among readers, many of whom express difficulty in following the plot and remembering who the characters are. This focus on political maneuvering has exacerbated existing reader frustration regarding the prolonged absence of the male lead, Cedric. The reader comments reveal a strong sentiment of fatigue with the "political nonsense," with many stating they miss Cedric and wish for a return to the central romance, especially given Artezia's recently revealed pregnancy and Saintess status. While Artezia continues to be portrayed as a master schemer, the current arc is perceived as overly detailed and is alienating a portion of the audience who are more invested in the core relationship and personal character arcs.
