### Summary
The birth of their daughter, Leticia, has shifted the narrative's focus from political maneuvering to the challenges of parenthood. While the protagonists' alliance is solidified by the recent revelation of Artezia's sainthood, their core conflict persists. Artezia, still viewing herself as a tainted tool, downplays the traumatic, near-fatal incidents surrounding the birth and continues to harbor a self-sacrificial mindset. This is in direct opposition to Cedric, who has embraced his role as a doting father and ruthless protector, determined to preserve their family. A future point of contention is foreshadowed, as Cedric remains unaware that Artezia has exchanged part of her lifespan to use her holy power. Concurrently, a subplot develops around Garnet, the wife of the rival Grand Duke Roygar. Defined by a severe inferiority complex and her awareness of being a "trophy wife," Garnet is confronted by a character named Skyla, an interaction that seems poised to trigger her insecurities, which have historically led to dangerous actions against others.
