Episode Title:
The King Teaches
Episode Description:
While shopping Arthur feels a presence from a store selling extracted beast cores. Lilia has long desired one as they sometimes contain beast wills, but her parents consider this cheating when she should be focused on awakening her own core. Lilia sneaks away to another store to secretly buy a cheap core. Arthur tries to dissuade her in case it doesn’t work, and their argument disturbs boys from the Academy. A fight almost occurs but the boys leave after realising Lilia is Vincent’s daughter, a financial donor to the Academy. Vincent assures Arthur the fight won’t affect his entry to the Academy. Lilia becomes upset, feeling Vincent is only sending Arthur as a substitute for her, since she can’t use magic. Later, she apologises to Arthur for her jealousy. Deciding to help, Arthur pretends to have sent Lilia to Elenoir for training. At first Vincent and Tabitha are furious but soon realise they pressured Lilia unfairly. Lilia reveals she never actually left; she just wanted them to understand. Vincent apologises and promises to support Lilia whatever future she chooses. Lilia decides for herself to attend the academy so Arthur uses Virion’s technique to forcibly awaken the dormant cores in both Lilia and Eleanor. Vincent throws a party to celebrate. Meanwhile, a sinister man takes an interest in Vincent’s auction house.
