### Summary
The Ebron duchy is facing a severe military crisis against the Karam people, a conflict triggered not by a rival's scheme but by a catastrophic internal failure: the accidental kidnapping of a Karam child, which went unreported due to an administrative vacuum. This preventable war has now escalated unexpectedly, as the Karam are deploying advanced siege tactics, leading to speculation that a third party—possibly another individual with memories of the past—is secretly guiding them. Amidst the turmoil, the relationship between Artezia and Cedric remains a stable partnership built on mutual trust, while the 'saintess' Lisia cooperates with Cedric platonically, subverting Artezia's previous, guilt-ridden attempts to push them together. However, the conflict has highlighted a significant narrative controversy, with readers criticizing the depiction of the dark-skinned Karam as a "savage" or "monster" race. This portrayal is seen as a racist caricature that feels inconsistent with the established existence of mixed-race children, which implies a level of peaceful interaction and communication that the century-long war seems to ignore. The chapter ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the identity of the Karam's mysterious benefactor and the resolution of the duchy's internal vulnerabilities dangerously uncertain.
