### Summary
The current arc's central conflict, defined by Artezia's trauma-fueled self-sabotage, escalates dramatically with her kidnapping. Occurring while Cedric is away and immediately after she removes a bracelet symbolizing his affection, the abduction is carried out by a new, handsome, red-haired foreign prince, causing confusion among readers about his identity and potential connection to the first timeline. This event was facilitated by the betrayal of a character named Aubrey, who has drawn significant reader anger for her repeated transgressions. The chaotic incident, which also features the reappearance of Sir Alphonse, is widely interpreted as a classic "kidnapping arc" trope. While many readers are frustrated by the introduction of a new potential love interest and the villain's sudden appearance, they also express hope that this violent disruption will finally force the emotionally distant Artezia to confront her self-destructive behavior, stop pushing Cedric away, and acknowledge her true feelings.
