### Summary
Following Artezia’s return to the capital, the narrative focuses on the escalating high society drama and the complex psychological dynamics of her family. Readers are captivated by the intricate, long-term schemes Artezia set in motion before her departure, viewing the court's current decadence as the first signs of her "enormous trap" springing shut. The central tension revolves around Artezia and her mother, Millaira, who is depicted as a paranoid and manipulative figure. Audience interpretation of Millaira is divided; some see her as a tragic victim of circumstance, sold to the Emperor and forced to use her beauty to survive, while others condemn her as a cruel abuser who deserves a horrid end. Her extravagant clothing is noted as a form of psychological "armor." In contrast, Artezia is perceived as looking healthier and more beautiful, and flashbacks to her abused childhood elicit strong sympathy. While some readers find the political maneuvering confusing or slow-paced and wish for more romance, most are engrossed by the scheming and praise the art style's recent improvement, eagerly anticipating the inevitable downfall of Millaira and Laurence.
