### Summary
Artezia Rosan's grand strategy to dismantle her political rivals is currently focused on the downfall of Grand Duke Roygar. The latest development in this complex scheme involves Duchess Garnet Roygar being framed for treason after being manipulated into accepting a gift—a box reserved only for an empress—which was then submitted as evidence against her by her own niece. This incident is part of a much larger, convoluted affair tied to a past murder and illegal salt trading, effectively tightening a political "noose" around Roygar's faction. While these machinations successfully destabilize all contenders for the throne, the narrative's focus has shifted from the emotionally shattered Artezia. Her plans unfold with ruthless precision, but she remains psychologically broken and detached, seemingly unworthy of the future she is building for Cedric. The plot's density has become a notable point of discussion among readers, many of whom express confusion over the intricate political maneuvering and large cast of characters, highlighting the complexity of Artezia's web.
