Synopsis

The chapter reveals Yulia's past appreciation for a specific flower scent, now hated because of her tyrannical actions in her previous life as the empress. She finds comfort in Felix's loyalty but also identifies Duke Fez, a man who reminds her of a previous life's tormentor, as a threat. Yulia begins to subtly manipulate the court, bringing back exiled servants, a move that shocks Duke Fez and highlights her changing approach to power.
