### Summary
The chapter executes Artezia’s anticipated scheme, culminating in a violent and public confrontation with her mother, Miraila Rosan. During a tea party, Miraila physically assaults Artezia in front of several strategically invited noble guests, including Mielle, the daughter of a newspaper magnate. Readers universally identify this as a calculated, self-sacrificial gambit by Artezia, who willingly endures the abuse to expose her mother's hysterical and possessive nature, thereby orchestrating her social ruin. Commentators express both awe at Artezia's "hardcore" dedication to her plan and intense vitriol for Miraila, who is derided as a narcissistic "witch" and an abusive parent. The assault is dramatically halted by the arrival of Grand Duke Cedric, who acts as a fierce protector. However, his intervention raises concerns among readers that he is being used as a pawn and is confused by the situation, highlighting a need for Artezia to explain her machinations to him. A significant point of discussion is the conspicuous absence of Sir Alphonse, the knight Cedric assigned to guard Artezia, with many questioning his failure to intervene. The loyalty of the maid, Alice, is also praised for her attempt to shield her mistress.
