Fernand recovers, revealing he knew what Julius was planning; Mia having been told about the plot by Marquis Pryz son. The King is also alive, Julius’ assassins having been killed by Himari. Julius is furious when the nobles reject him. Mia terminates their engagement and publicly denounces him and her parents for abusing and then selling Philia.
