## Chapter
- number: 8
- release_date: 2025-03-13

### Summary
The chapter showcases Artezia’s continued efforts to build her power base by forging new alliances. A significant portion of the narrative focuses on her calculated interaction with a newly introduced imperial knight, identified by readers as Keyshore. Fans expressed both admiration for his handsome, fatherly appearance and apprehension that he might be a "two-faced" agent loyal to Laurence. Artezia’s approach to the knight was described as strange but effective, leading to a key moment that sparked intense debate: she blushes. While some readers interpreted this as a simple crush, the prevailing analysis suggests it was a more complex, non-romantic reaction to being complimented and acknowledged as a mature individual despite her young body. The chapter also introduces another character named Mielle, presumably the knight's daughter, whose name caused an immediate and strong reaction from the fanbase due to its association with a notorious villain from another popular manhwa, "The Villainess Turns the Hourglass." This created instant suspicion around the new character. Overall, readers continue to praise Artezia's intelligence, strategic mind, and confident maneuvering, solidifying her status as a "queen" and a "kingmaker" for the honorable but less cunning Grand Duke Cedric.
