### Summary
This chapter focuses on political and domestic intrigue, revealing rampant embezzlement and neglect within Prince Caesar's estate. Carnelia discovers the dilapidated state of his palace, a situation so obvious that readers find the staff's feigned ignorance to be at a "caricature level." In a significant development addressing previous reader frustrations with her passivity, the second prince, Noah, steps in. He empowers Carnelia by tasking her with managing the household, a move fans interpret as him building a "foundation of power" for his sister-in-law. This action earns Noah significant praise for his supportive and "princely" demeanor, which subverts the typical antagonistic sibling trope. However, this new responsibility is fraught with danger, as comments suggest the empress is the one orchestrating the embezzlement, placing Carnelia in a precarious position. The chapter also highlights a character named Raya, who is from a fallen noble family and whom readers are eager to see ally with Carnelia. While the central plot of corruption and spies unfolds, some readers express confusion regarding the timeline and the identity of the green-haired character from the previous chapter.
