### Summary
Following Grand Duke Cedric's much-anticipated return from war, the reunion with Artezia immediately escalates into a passionate and intimate encounter, leading to the consummation of their marriage for a second time. The chapter is defined by this romantic intensity, with readers celebrating Cedric's overt devotion and happiness as he showers a receptive Artezia with affection, physically carrying her and expressing his deep longing. A significant milestone is reached as Artezia begins to internally refer to her husband by his first name, "Cedric," signaling a shift from their formal arrangement toward genuine intimacy. However, her deep-seated trauma and self-loathing remain a powerful obstacle. This internal conflict surfaces immediately after their intimacy when she brings up Lisia, the 'saintess' tied to her past guilt, revealing her persistent feeling of unworthiness and inability to fully accept Cedric's love. While readers overwhelmingly adored the chapter's romantic and steamy developments, many also noted an undercurrent of tragic foreshadowing, fearing that Artezia's unresolved emotional baggage and looming political threats will inevitably force the couple apart.
