### Summary
This chapter marks a significant emotional turning point, shifting from intense political maneuvering to intimate character resolution. The central focus is the long-awaited clarification of a core misunderstanding that has plagued Artezia since her regression: her guilt-ridden belief that Cedric was in love with Saintess Lysia in their original timeline. Cedric finally reassures her that he never held romantic feelings for Lysia, freeing Artezia from the immense burden of having "stolen" him. This resolution is celebrated by readers as a "cute" and "fluffy" moment, allowing the couple to deepen their bond after a period of immense trauma and psychological turmoil. In parallel, Artezia’s intricate schemes continue to devastate her enemies. The Emperor, whose health is visibly deteriorating from the stress, begrudgingly acknowledges Cedric as a more suitable successor than his own son, Laurence. However, the Emperor makes a fatal miscalculation, believing that Cedric will spare Laurence out of respect for his familial connection to Artezia, remaining completely oblivious to the fact that she is the true architect of his downfall and harbors a deep-seated hatred for her family. This juxtaposition highlights the success of Artezia's strategy, as her enemies fall into her carefully laid traps while she and Cedric finally build a foundation of emotional honesty.
