Episode Title:
A Proposal from Above with a Gift
Episode Description:
Several days pass and Melphiera's father receives a letter from Aristide requesting her hand in marriage. Prince Maxim, Aristide's older brother, is amused and advises him not to delay as Melphiera is the first woman he met with similar interests. Melphiera assumes Aristide has some ulterior motive, as does her father who, not wanting to associate with the "Blood-mad Duke", decides to reject the proposal. After Melphiera touches the letter a spell reveals a more personal message promising Aristide will visit the very next day, leaving her father no time to send the rejection. Melphiera wonders if, with Aristides help, she can make monster farming a viable industry like her mother dreamed of. Melphiera's unpleasant stepmother Celia is outraged Aristide and his knights arrive riding dragons and he proposes to her through her bedroom window. Celia insists Aristide is an impolite, filthy beast, making Melphiera angry. Aristide reveals he brought her a still alive golden Royal Moodle as a gift, thrilling her as it can be made into a variety of dishes. Realising Aristide knows about Melphiera's hobby, her father allows them to stable their dragons in her mother's old research facility. Melphiera is excited but nervous about showing Aristide why she began eating monsters with her mother.
