There he is!

I refuse to give up just because he has a fiancée now!

If he'll just take this handkerchief in his hands...

Duke!

You're stepping on Lady Baylene's handkerchief!

Whoops. Dear me.

Lord Westernberg...

Go apologize to the lady in my stead.

Tell her I'll make it up to her.

Very well.

It's been a while.

Yes.

What have you been looking at?

I was getting a lesson about never touching things that belong to someone else.

To someone else?

Let's go.

Right...

You seem to have lost some weight.

Yeah... you could say I went through some things.

Aren't those...

the Holy Knights?

I had heard that I might or might not see them once in my life,

but I thought it was incredibly rare for them to leave the Holy Land.

Raeliana!

His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, Heika Demint.

The light's so bright...

They didn't bring the Holy Knights here just to do this, did they?

You didn't seem to understand what a big deal I am,

so I opened the gate to the Holy Land and brought the Holy Knights here.

What is with that disapproving look?

Just what is it she objects to?

You could try being a bit more friendly, or...

Friendly...

But I've lived the past 150 years with no family or friends.

Oh, I know!

There was one member of the Holy Land's council

of elders who bragged about his granddaughter!

Raeliana...

Yes?

I will be your grandpa!

Go on, call me "Grandpa"!

I could never say something so rude to Your Holiness.

I'm giving you permission to!

I really don't need that kind of permission.

Wh-While that is truly a great honor...

Y-Your Holiness, might I have a moment?

What is it?

Pardon us, my lady.

You boor!

How dare you take away my precious time with my grandchild?!

What is the meaning of suddenly calling yourself her "grandpa"?!

Well, there's a bit too much of an age gap for me to be her father.

True...

But considering your real age, even "grandpa" is a bit...

Wait, that's not the point!

I'm asking what you're trying to achieve by suddenly taking her as your granddaughter!

You're the one who told me to be more friendly!

I'm offering to be her grandfather!

What greater honor could there be?!

Honor?

H-He is so...

What's the matter? Are you in pain?

Lord Westernberg, you seem tired.

Are you quite pleased with yourself for sacrificing me to Lady Baylene?

Better than sacrificing you to a dragon, no?

Just stop getting in my way already!

I'm not getting in your way!

Raeliana...

Uh... Yes?

Just stay on the sidelines and keep your mouth shut!

Where are you going?

Um... The restroom.

I believe that would be in the other direction.

Raeliana, what's that?

Huh?

Raeliana!

Don't move!

Stay still.

No way.

That thing was obviously about to explode right on my head...

Raeliana...

How about it?

Will you call me your grandpa now?

Crystallite.

A mineral produced in the Holy Land.

Very few people have it due to strict limitations on its import.

It looks beautiful,

but when exposed to light, it absorbs it...

and explodes.

He has the look of a wild beast in his eyes.

I've learned in my 150 years

that those who don't plainly show their emotions are the most underhanded.

How very disagreeable.

What is your relationship to my Raeliana?

Your Raeliana?

What? You have a problem with me calling her that?

I am her fiancé.

It's difficult for women to exercise their full abilities once they're married.

If she marries him and I lose access to her talent with languages...

I foresee you self-destructing as a result of your dual personality.

Break up with my Raeliana.

This old fool...

Your Holiness,

I give you my most heartfelt thanks for saving my fiancée today.

I have heard that your organization's financial situation has suffered of late.

I would like to offer it my support.

Because you saved my fiancée.

Your fiancée, you say?

Well, she's my granddaughter, so you needn't worry about her. Ever.

You may advise me not to worry about her,

but it is my duty to take care of my fiancée.

Your Grace, please allow me to explain the financial support procedure.

Sir Adam...

Your Grace.

Choose the most talented knights and send them to Granger Castle.

If even a few more seconds had passed...

No, if Heika hadn't been there...

The moment it entered this dome, it was fated to die.

Since Raeliana McMillan is just a side character...

Maybe she really is destined to die in the end?

As Beatrice's reason for returning home...

I have to stop this!

They say negative thoughts will bring negative outcomes.

Before I get all disheartened, I have to find out who was behind this.

When did it get darker in here?

Who's there?!

Raeliana?

You startled me!

You were genuinely in grave danger today!

Noah...

I don't think it's very considerate of you to come here without notice.

Francis Brooks and Jake Langston are dead, and yet...

So he lied about them being sent to Saint Bell Prison?

Who is it?

I don't know what you're asking me.

Someone is trying to kill you.

Someone other than Francis Brooks.

Who is it?

I don't know!

Does it have something to do with the royal seal?

Or is there something else going on?

Tell me the truth!

I'll tell you tomorrow.

No! Right now!

I don't want you getting into any more situations that I can't control!

You're hurting me!

Tell me right now!

Take some time to cool your head, Duke Wynknight.

Do you know what this place is?

The purification chamber, into which only those with permission may enter.

Why am I so unable to stop myself?

Are you serious about Miss McMillan?

Why are you so angry?

Because I won't tell you the truth?

It's only natural that Noah wouldn't believe me.

We're only together because of our contract, after all.

So why is he so agitated?

Raeliana...

I'm sorry.

It's just...

when I thought that I might lose you...

I nearly lost my mind.

What... does that mean?

Please rest well.

What did he mean?

This way, please.

I nearly lost my mind.

The moment I start thinking about it, I lose.

I've got this all wrong!

Yeah! It's all a mistake!

Normally, His Holiness refrains from presiding over

the lighting of the sacred flame in the interest of fairness.

He must have really taken a liking to Miss McMillan.

Raeliana, I am your grandpa.

Your Holiness,

my rudeness toward you the other day was by no means intentional.

Go on. Call me that.

I was just treating it as a casual exchange...

It's true that I had never been spoken to in such a barbaric way before.

It was the first time I'd lost sleep over something in all my 150 years.

Raeliana's real grandfather, wherever you are...

This isn't what I want at all, so please forgive me.

I am grateful... Grandpa.

Absolutely not!

What do you mean, you're going with Miss McMillan?!

I am the supreme pontiff!

If I say I'm going, I'm going!

What is the issue?!

It is a tremendous issue!

It is unheard of for a supreme pontiff to walk around anywhere he pleases!

Get out of my way!

I absolutely will not allow this!

Would you give it a rest already?!

Of all the times for you to use that damn brute strength...

Thank you, Head Priest.

From the bottom of my heart.

Justin, you are the eldest son of the Shamal household.

You have a duty to succeed me in leading this family.

Hey! Are you listening to me?

I hear you quite well.

Are you ever going to stop fixating on that woman?

I have been planning this trip for some time.

It has nothing to do with her.

You think I know nothing?

This is why I told you to stay away from her.

Justin, wait!

Well, then...

Your ungrateful son will now take his leave.

Go check in on Vivian.

She always listens to you.

Has something happened?

Apparently, the young McMillan lady

was involved in an accident on the day of the lighting ceremony.

An accident?

There are rumors that it was all set up,

but the Wynknight household is keeping strictly silent about that.

And what does that have to do with Vivian?

Well, only that she's probably asking herself, "What if it had been me?"

In any case, Vivian is to become queen one day.

I need you to convince her to visit the king frequently.

He's desperate to get royal blood into his family line.

Very well.

I'm counting on you.

I know Vivian.

This is most likely about Duke Wynknight's fiancée.

How should I convince her?

This is all your fault! What are you going to do about it?!

No, not mine.

This was your choice, my lady.

Vivian?!

Brother? When did you return?

What is going on here?

Nothing.

Ah, forgive me!

It was rude of me to behave that way in front of a guest!

Please, think nothing of it.

It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Beatrice.
