So
Spoiler!
The Empress asks if Arel is really Valar’s daughter and whether Sione is still alive, but Valar avoids giving a clear answer. Arel also has a strange encounter with a mysterious man who acts like a stalker. He admits that he was the one who secretly contacted her before. He is dangerous but also strangely interested in her. He says she cannot escape being involved with him. Arel feels nervous and uncomfortable around him, like he is a predator, but she cannot get rid of him.
Later, Arel notices that Valar, has been avoiding her. With Mehen’s help, she enters a special portrait room in the Halbern mansion. The room is filled with paintings of the Halbern family. While exploring, she finds a portrait of a woman named Sione Sigrida Halbern (her mother) Arel suddenly realizes that this woman is her mother. This shocks her, especially because the portrait suggests that her mother is directly connected to the Halbern family. Arel is confused and overwhelmed, realizing there may be a hidden secret about her birth.
Arel’s life in Halbern Manor, has become chaotic. Recently, she is forced to drink a strange “elixir” sent by the Crown Prince. The drink changes color every day and tastes terrible, making her suspect it might be poison. Even though others believe it’s healthy and praise its effects, Arel thinks her improvement is actually from exercising, not the potion. Still, she has no choice but to drink it under everyone’s watch. Arel’s relationship with her father is complicated and often frustrating. He teases her, makes her play exhausting games, and doesn’t seem to take things seriously, which annoys her.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule
