Episode Title:
Day of Festival and Revelation
Episode Description:
The Grand Consecration, the anniversary of Ozmargo's founding, where Leonhart will wear the first king's clothes, is coming up. On the night before, Leonhart returns to his human form, so Sariphi hides him while he laments that he would be killed if his subjects ever learned of this. The next morning, they are shocked to find he is still in human form. The palace looks for them, forcing them to run and hide. He slowly returns to beast form, but he notes that he does not have enough time to get dressed and make it to the first ceremony. Sariphi stalls the judge Set when he reaches their hiding place long enough for Leonhart to revert back. He decides to go to the first ceremony in his ordinary clothes and dazzles the crowd with a speech about changing with the times and moving forward. With the Grand Consecration done, Anubis gives Sariphi a choice. She can be Acting Queen Consort, but if she fails in her duties, she will be exiled, or she can decline and live as Leonhart's pet while he chooses a new wife. After Bennu's encouragement, she chooses to be Acting Queen Consort.
