### Summary
Artezia Rosan's master plan has reached its dramatic climax with the successful framing of her half-brother, Laurence, for murder. By sacrificing a deep-cover agent and manipulating events to link Laurence to the poisoning of the Queen of Amel, she has effectively sabotaged his southern campaign and implicated other political rivals like Grand Duke Roygar and the Riagan family. This complex, multi-layered gambit has left many readers simultaneously confused by the sheer number of moving parts and in awe of Artezia's ruthless strategic genius, often commenting on her majestic and "villainous" appearance. While her external power is undeniable, this victory is set against the backdrop of her severe internal trauma, as she views her recently discovered pregnancy and divine status as a Saintess to be burdens she is unworthy of. As her husband Cedric is dispatched to manage the southern crisis she created, a new threat emerges in the form of the perceptive noblewoman Skyla, who is beginning to deduce Artezia's role as the mastermind behind the conspiracy. Despite the intricate political scheming, audience investment remains torn between admiration for the protagonist's intellect and a deep concern for her psychological state and the anticipated reunion with Cedric.
