### Summary
The Ebron duchy is facing a severe crisis with the Karam people, which a local priest publicly blames on divine retribution for planting "devil's crops." However, the true cause is revealed to be the "accidental" kidnapping of a Karam child, a fact that a subordinate named Hannah failed to report. This catastrophic negligence has led to the deaths of soldiers and left Grand Duke Cedric fighting a war without understanding its origin. As Artezia learns of this, she is confronted with a disaster stemming not from a rival's political machinations, but from gross internal incompetence. This administrative failure is implicitly linked to the recent power vacuum created by the disgrace and banishment of the formerly efficient House Jordin, whose absence following Aubrey's treason has left the duchy vulnerable and its information channels broken, directly contributing to the preventable escalation of the conflict.
