### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from Artezia’s political machinations to the dual crisis of her severe psychological trauma and her husband Cedric’s aggressive transformation. While Artezia remains trapped by self-loathing, viewing her unexpected pregnancy and a divine revelation naming her the new Saintess as a curse she is unworthy of, Cedric has become a ruthless protector. Fueled by what appear to be returning memories of the original timeline, he has cast aside his honor-bound principles to "bulldoze" his way to the throne. This is exemplified by his direct confrontation with his uncle, Grand Duke Roygar, whose schemes endangered Artezia. Despite his terrifying new external demeanor, the chapter emphasizes Cedric's gentle and supportive care for his wife, using grounding techniques like covering her eyes to signal that she is safe and can rest. The central conflict is now defined by this duality: Cedric’s violent campaign to secure a future for his family, and Artezia’s internal struggle to believe she deserves to be a part of it.
