### Summary
The wedding of Artezia Rosan and Grand Duke Cedric Ebron serves as a masterfully orchestrated political spectacle rather than a romantic union. Artezia's primary gambit is having the Empress, who has not been seen in public for eighteen years, escort her down the aisle—a shocking move that solidifies their alliance. The tension is amplified by the hypocritical presence of Emperor Gregor, who acts as a father figure to Cedric despite having murdered his parents and the Empress's family. This symbolic act of the current rulers giving away the bride and groom is widely interpreted as foreshadowing Artezia and Cedric's ascent to the throne. Throughout the ceremony, Cedric is openly captivated and adoring of Artezia, a stark contrast to her own stoic and purposeful demeanor, as her focus remains entirely on her strategic objectives. The event is further disrupted by the arrival of Artezia’s uninvited and volatile mother, Miraila, who attempts to crash the wedding and creates a public scene before being restrained by guards. This disturbance plays directly into Artezia's plans to publicly shame her family and drive a wedge between her mother and the Emperor, cementing the wedding as a major political victory.
