### Summary
A new political crisis, instigated by a traitorous knight from within the Ebron ranks, threatens to shatter Grand Duke Cedric’s reputation by painting him as a sympathizer to the reviled Karam. In response to this calculated scandal, Artezia Rosan unleashes her ultimate trump card in a dramatic public display, revealing her long-concealed identity as a Saintess. This masterful gambit not only neutralizes the immediate threat but also allows her to audaciously declare that God has revealed she will become Empress, a strategic lie that solidifies her power but also places a massive new target on her back. The move comes as Cedric has adopted a ruthless protective stance over their family, particularly their infant daughter Leticia, in the face of escalating dangers. While readers laud Artezia’s cunning and condemn the misguided knight who sparked the incident, some express concern that the relentless political machinations are overshadowing the story's romantic and familial elements. The chapter ends on a cliffhanger, with Artezia having exposed one of her most powerful secrets to navigate a treacherous political landscape on the brink of collapse.
