### Summary
Following the dramatic conclusion to Laurence and Lisia's past-life connection, the narrative shifts to a quiet, introspective chapter focused on Artezia and Cedric. This soft, domestic interlude provides a respite from the heavy political plot, centering on Artezia's pregnancy. Now visibly showing, she is depicted in a rare state of relaxation, even experiencing food cravings, though she remains psychologically scarred and emotionally distant from Cedric due to her deep-seated trauma and feelings of unworthiness. The chapter's pivotal moment occurs when Artezia feels her baby's first movements, a tangible realization that she and Cedric must process together despite their awkwardness. Throughout, Cedric acts as a gentle, reassuring presence, recognizing her internal turmoil and offering comfort. While readers appreciate this "fluffy" character-focused chapter as a soothing pause, it is heavily tinged with a sense of foreboding, with many interpreting the peaceful scene as the "calm before the storm" and expressing anxiety over the future safety of Artezia and her unborn child.
