### Summary
Artezia’s profound guilt continues to drive her actions as she attempts to self-sabotage her relationship with Cedric. Operating under the mistaken belief that the kind "saintess" Lisia was Cedric's true love in the original timeline, Artezia actively tries to push them together as a form of atonement for her past sins. This emotional conflict comes to a head at a ball where she attempts to distance herself, only for a determined Cedric to physically hold her back, refusing to let her go. The tense atmosphere is further disrupted by the arrival of a minor antagonist, Aubrey, who makes a spectacle of herself with comically garish, clown-like makeup and a tacky dress that she deludedly perceives as "mature and beautiful." Her disruptive presence, following an earlier outburst where she broke a jewelry box and accosted a maid, sets the stage for a public confrontation. The chapter highlights the stark contrast between Artezia's strategic genius and her emotional trauma, as her inability to recognize her own worth or Cedric's genuine affection creates a painful dramatic irony, with many suspecting her memories of Cedric and Lisia's past relationship are fundamentally flawed.
