### Summary
The narrative continues to focus on the execution of one of Artezia’s complex, long-distance schemes, which has proven divisive among readers. The central event is a high-society seance orchestrated by Artezia’s growing covert network. The cloaked figure leading the seance is confirmed to be the assassin Rai, who is posing as a prophet and using information from Artezia’s past life to build his credibility. While the intricate nature of the plot has left many readers confused, the consensus among more attentive followers is that this is a calculated move targeting Artezia’s mother, Miraila. The established goal is to use Rai’s manufactured prophecies to gain Miraila’s trust, allowing Artezia to manipulate her from afar and thereby isolate the Emperor, fulfilling a prior promise to the Empress. This highlights Artezia’s strategic genius and her ability to weaponize information, though the focus on her "shadow squad" has been challenging for some to follow. Comments indicate the plan is succeeding, with the target having taken the bait, setting the stage for the next phase of Artezia's meticulous revenge.
