### Summary
The chapter highlights the stark contrast between Artezia’s external preparations for her marriage and her internal state of profound self-loathing. While being fitted for her wedding dress, she is described as breathtakingly beautiful, yet her expression remains empty and sad, reflecting her conviction that she is an undeserving tool unworthy of happiness. This deep-seated trauma from her past life prevents her from embracing any kindness from Cedric, even as readers observe his growing affection and concern for her well-being. Juxtaposed with this emotional vulnerability is her continued ruthless efficiency as a strategist. It is revealed that Artezia successfully orchestrated the assassination of Bill, her mother Miraila's disrespectful butler, coldly eliminating him as a piece of "evidence" from her past. The chapter also introduces the dressmaker, Emily, who provides a moment of comic relief. Ultimately, the narrative deepens the psychological drama, focusing on Artezia’s inability to see herself as anything more than a villainess on a path to self-destruction, even as she secures a future for Cedric.
