### Summary
The narrative currently focuses on the political and personal fallout of Artezia's master plan, with her half-brother Laurence Rosan taking center stage. Lacking Artezia's strategic guidance, Laurence's incompetence, immaturity, and deep-seated inferiority complex toward Cedric Ebron are now fully exposed. This comes to a head in his interactions with his father, Emperor Gregor, who is openly disappointed in Laurence's failure to manage his mother, Miraila—a downfall Artezia herself engineered. Readers observe that Laurence is incapable of self-reflection and is on a path of self-destruction, effectively doing Artezia and Cedric's work for them. While this external plot unfolds, the core conflict remains internal for the main couple. Artezia is psychologically paralyzed by past trauma and self-loathing, viewing her unexpected pregnancy and new divine status as a Saintess not as blessings, but as a stolen life she is unworthy of, fearing she will perpetuate her family's cycle of abuse. In stark contrast, Cedric continues his ruthless campaign to secure the throne, driven by what are implied to be returning memories of the original timeline. His aggressive public persona is a shield for his family, though he remains a gentle partner to Artezia, creating a dynamic where he violently builds a future that she struggles to believe she deserves to be a part of.
