### Summary
The current arc is defined by Artezia's profound, trauma-fueled self-sabotage, which is causing significant emotional distress for both herself and Grand Duke Cedric. Consumed by guilt over her past life's sins, particularly the tragic fate she orchestrated for Lisia, Artezia is actively trying to push Cedric and Lisia into a romantic relationship. She operates under the misguided belief that they were the original destined couple and that her role is to atone by sacrificing her own happiness to unite them, remaining blind to the reality that their bond is purely platonic and sibling-like. Her overt and clumsy attempts at matchmaking stand in stark contrast to her usual strategic brilliance, leaving Cedric heartbroken and confused by her sudden coldness and emotional distance. While readers express frustration with this classic misunderstanding trope, they also acknowledge that Artezia's actions are a valid, if painful, consequence of her severe PTSD, history of abuse, and deep-seated conviction that, as a "villainess," she is unworthy of love or redemption. This internal conflict has become the central source of angst, as she continues to hurt the one person whose affection is genuine.
