### Summary
While protagonist Artezia Rosan remains physically absent and recovering from a traumatic collapse, her intricate political machinations continue to unfold without her direct involvement. The current narrative focuses on her long-planned takedown of Grand Duke Roygar, a key rival for the throne. The scheme centers on the empire's lucrative salt trade, a source of Emperor Gregor's wealth controlled by the now-vulnerable House Riagan. Having previously orchestrated events to frame House Riagan for an assassination and trigger a foreign invasion, Artezia created a crisis that has driven them to seek Roygar's aid. Driven by greed, Roygar is being lured into a treasonous deal for a share of the illegal salt trafficking business, a carefully laid trap designed to cause his political ruin. This master plan serves multiple purposes: it eliminates a contender for the throne, pleases the Empress, and severs the Emperor's financial backing for Laurence. The chapter highlights Artezia’s terrifying prowess as a "king maker," manipulating her enemies into self-destruction even as she grapples with her own psychological trauma and the unresolved emotional chasm with her husband, Cedric.
