## Chapter
- number: 22
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
The chapter picks up on the romantic tension from the previous installment, with reader comments indicating that Grand Duke Cedric is left comically disappointed and flustered after misinterpreting Artezia's calculated question as a romantic confession. This personal moment is quickly overshadowed by the dramatic return of Artezia’s mother, Miraila Rosan, an event met with overwhelming hostility from readers who refer to her with derisive nicknames like "the witch" and "Malaria." Her arrival is not seen as a coincidence but as a crucial part of Artezia’s master plan. Readers speculate that Artezia has orchestrated a public trap, deliberately inviting influential figures like Mielle, the daughter of a newspaper magnate, to witness and report on the ensuing confrontation she intends to provoke. The chapter also features a scene where Emperor Gregor scolds Laurence, a moment readers celebrate. Amidst the political maneuvering, commentary also touches on the series' art, with many noting the stylistic contrast between Miraila’s eye-catching outfits and Artezia’s comparatively plain attire, alongside critiques of a diamond bracelet worn by the protagonist. The narrative skillfully balances the burgeoning, if one-sidedly understood, romance with the cold execution of Artezia's long-term strategy against her family.
