### Summary
The chapter escalates the narrative's tension by focusing on the volatile actions of Aubrey, a lady-in-waiting with an unrequited crush on Cedric. Fueled by jealousy from witnessing the couple's intimacy, Aubrey's resentment over her duties culminates in a violent outburst where she throws a jewelry box at and injures a well-liked maid named Sophie. This act of immature aggression is sharply contrasted by the dramatic introduction of a pivotal new character, Lisia. Readers immediately identify Lisia as a beautiful, gentle, and kind figure from the original timeline, possibly the story's original heroine, who was known for forgiving Artezia's past atrocities. Her arrival is met with widespread anticipation and concern, as it is expected to trigger Artezia’s deep-seated guilt and feelings of unworthiness. This development foreshadows a significant emotional conflict, with readers predicting Artezia will retreat from her burgeoning relationship with Cedric, potentially creating a painful misunderstanding arc.
