### Summary
Following the death of the final antagonist, Laurence Rosan, the narrative's focus has shifted to Artezia Rosan's severe internal crisis. After being pushed into a sacrificial magic circle by a vengeful attendant, Venia, and subsequently rescued by Grand Duke Cedric Ebron, Artezia is confronted by the Saintess Lisia. In a pivotal act of mercy, Lisia uses her Holy Power to partially restore the lifespan Artezia sacrificed to enact her time-reversal magic, effectively countering Artezia's deep-seated self-loathing and stabilizing the world's timeline. This intervention, however, comes with a bittersweet consequence: Artezia's life is still permanently shortened, a fact reflected in her visibly aged appearance. The moment marks a crucial turning point, as Lisia’s explanation of Holy Power—being rooted in faith—pushes Artezia toward a path of self-forgiveness and healing, culminating in a rare, genuine smile. With all external political threats now eliminated, the story’s central conflict has become Artezia's personal journey to value her own life and emotionally reconcile with Cedric.
