Episode Title:
Divine Protection and the Acting Queen Consort
Episode Description:
Jormungand is on a mission to fight bandits and tells a soldier to stay home and tend to his pregnant wife. Amit makes good luck charms for him and Sariphi, but becomes depressed when she overhears him say he is uninterested in marriage. After Sariphi gets her charm, she encourages Amit not to give up on him, so she gives him the charm before he leaves, making him promise to survive. The court goes to the allied nation Sarbul so Sariphi can bless King Tet IV and Queen Calra's newborn son, Calcara. However, Calra does not want a human touching her son. They have a feast, but Leonhart and Sariphi retire early and he comforts her when she says Calra looked at her the same empty way her adoptive parents did. When they begin the ceremony, where Sariphi is supposed to hold Calcara and kiss his forehead, Calra pinches Calcara to make him cry and postpone the ceremony. Anubis noticed what she did, but considers this a test for Sariphi. As they decide to try the ceremony tomorrow, the young Princess Tetra offers to give Sariphi a tour of the palace.
