### Summary
The central conflict has escalated dramatically as Artezia's plan to have their unborn child inherit her own marquisate—thereby excluding them from Cedric's lineage—has provoked a powerful confrontation. Driven by deep-seated trauma and the conviction that she is unworthy of happiness and will perpetuate her family's "madness," her decision was a unilateral act of self-sabotage that disregarded Cedric's love and parental rights. The current chapter delivers an explosive revelation that has been building for some time: Cedric knows everything about the original timeline and Artezia's role in it. His ensuing anger is not directed at her past sins, but at her persistent self-loathing and her attempt to dictate their child's future based on the flawed belief that they are tainted by her blood. Readers are witnessing a pivotal moment where Cedric, fully aware of her history, has finally reached his limit, furious that she would deny him his family and assume he would simply move on with another woman after her presumed death. Artezia is left terrified, facing the man who knows her worst deeds but whose love has now manifested as righteous anger, directly challenging her cycle of self-destruction.
