### Summary
Visiting Cedric’s cold, northern duchy, Artezia accompanies him to an ancestral underground shrine, a somber setting that brings her internal conflicts to the forefront. The narrative heavily explores Artezia’s profound guilt over Lisia, a kind woman whose death she orchestrated in her previous life. This event is framed as Artezia's first true regret and the catalyst for her disillusionment. Believing that fundamentally good and pure-hearted people like Cedric and Lisia belong together, Artezia struggles with her own self-perceived "evil" and worthiness, creating a significant emotional barrier in her developing relationship with Cedric. He, in contrast, is consistently praised as a man of immense honor and kindness, a refreshing and noble figure whose imposing physical stature is frequently noted. Their partnership is defined by mutual respect and communication, though the mood is tense as Artezia warns Cedric of potential traitors in his ranks, foreshadowing future political intrigue. While observers admire them as a couple, the subplot involving the rival Aubrey continues, with anticipation that she will fall into a jewel-related trap set by Artezia.
