Episode Description:
Juggernaut and Yukime ignore Cid to break into Elizabeth’s tower. White Devil attacks Cid but is cut to pieces. Beta encounters Claire and Mary and reveals Shadow Garden intends to steal Elizabeth’s blood for research. Soldier 666 panics to hear of Cid’s supposed kidnapping and is reprimanded by Beta. Juggernaut almost kills Mary who kisses Claire to drink her blood, healing herself. Claire realises Mary is a vampire. Cid drops Juggernaut off the tower, making Claire confused why “Shadow” would save them. Mary reveals 1000 years ago Elizabeth sought peace by helping vampires give up drinking blood. This enabled vampires to walk in the sun and build a community alongside humans she called Haven. As a Progenitor Vampire Elizabeth’s desire for blood never diminished, and during the Red Moon 1000 years ago she went mad and slaughtered everyone in Haven. Filled with remorse she committed suicide but before Mary could hide her body it was stolen by Lord Crimson who has secretly ruled from Elizabeth’s throne ever since. Feeling sympathy Claire reveals she is possessed by a demon and is desperate to help Cid achieve greatness before she loses her humanity. Cid plunders Crimson’s treasury for retirement funds and decides he might as well kill Crimson to impress everyone. Crimson, in the middle of resurrecting Elizabeth to marry her, is killed before he even noticed Cid was there.
