### Summary
Following the public trial, Mielle Roscent has been imprisoned for attempting to frame her stepsister, Aria. Reader commentary expresses immense satisfaction with this development, frequently mocking Mielle's complaints about her "cramped" yet luxurious cell. A significant point of discussion is Mielle's profound delusion, as she appears to genuinely believe her own lies and cannot comprehend her downfall. In stark contrast, Aria and Crown Prince Asher are celebrated as a formidable "power couple," whose strategic and romantic partnership masterfully controlled the trial's outcome. With Mielle's fate hanging in the balance, the narrative suspense now centers on the testimony of the newly awakened Count Roscent. Readers are intensely speculating whether he will protect Mielle, the daughter who pushed him down the stairs, or finally side with Aria, who tried to save him. While Mielle's brother, Cain, attempts to intervene on her behalf, the situation remains a "checkmate" orchestrated by Aria, pending the Count's crucial decision.
