| Carl meets the very depressed Li-Ren for an explanation of the sudden news that he'll be married to his cousin and at the same time tries to convince him to fight his way through this hurdle. Li-Ren was somehow motivated by Carl's words and simultaneously learns of King Mahaty's grave condition. Kajika, Fred and Harry heads to Raginei to visit Mahaty. Kajika who meets her biological grandfather for the first time was motivated to go all the way and fight for her love after listening to Mahaty's words. Rumaty on the other hand is surprised to find out that Kajika is his blood related cousin. After the meet, Kajika tells Harry that she wants to cut ties with him in order to be able to leave out the Burnsworth name and find Li-Ren again. Harry agrees instantaneously although he seemed rather shocked at first. Harry also states that he will only be giving Kajika the Gibori Island, which made Kajika rather happy. Toranosuke was told by Harry that his contract is up but he was persistent on continuing to follow and help Kajika at his own free will. Outside of the Raginei Palace, when Kajika was trying to borrow money from Toranosuke for the taxi and airfare for her journey to Singapore, Eugene appears to be waiting for Kajika and asks Kajika what she really wants at this instant. Kajika tells him that she wants Li-Ren and Eugene states that since that is what she wants, that is what he'll be giving her (Li-Ren). |||
| 39 | "The Promised Sky" Transliteration: "Yakusoku no Sora" (Japanese: 約束の空) | February 14, 2010 (2010-02-14) |
| Li-Ren expresses his gratitude and appreciation towards Zao for helping and caring for him previously although at the same time mentioned that Zao was somehow led astray in the midst of things. Li-Ren tells Zao that he won't be able to do anything now that Li-Ren has allowed Fi to be the Head of the Huangs. Li-Ren points a gun at Zao stating that both of them should wait whilst the Elders decide what to do with Li-Ren but as Zao was to command his personally hired bodyguards to his aid, Lieutenant Noei, sent by Rumaty to help Kajika, appears together with his comrades to save Li-Ren from being held captive in his mansion in Singapore. A great deal of damage was done to the Huang family's property but Noei told Zao to send the invoices to Rosenthal Corp as Carl Rosenthal had offered to pay for the losses. Eugene's personal helicopter then flew just outside Li-Ren 's balcony and Kajika opened the copter's door. She told Li-Ren to decide whether to stay on or follow her and he decides to follow Kajika. Kajika then told him that she'll not let go of Li-Ren. Toranosuke who was then maneuvering the helicopter asks Kajika where she is headed to next as there is a plane already waiting for her at the airport. She says that she wishes to go back to the Gibori Islands and Eugene was interested in following her. Li-Ren was slightly jealous and questioned Eugene's decision. Eugene naughtily told Li-Ren that he could get off his personal copter if he wasn't happy about it. The unhappy yet childish side of Li-Ren surfaced when he silently said to himself that he had a helicopter too. Kajika on the other hand was elated that both Li-Ren and Eugene(Mustafa) will be joining her in the Gibori Islands but she first told Toranosuke to head off to Raginei as she wants her dying grandfather, King Mahaty to meet her husband Li-Ren. Back in Raginei, both Harry Burnsworth and Rumaty have a good chat. Harry says that Kajika should be arriving soon and Rumaty was quite delighted at his uncle's optimism. Rumaty jokingly tells Harry that he is somewhat heartbroken and thought that he was the perfect match for Kajika. Harry tells Rumaty that he'll surely be able to find a lover this time and not a friend. Harry asks if he should introduce some gals to Rumaty and Rumaty keenly asked if Harry was planning on a Marriage game for him. It is then that the palace officials suddenly summon the presence of both Rumaty and Harry ...(probably alerting them of Kajika, Li-Ren, Toranosuke and Eugene's arrival). Later on, Kajika and Li-Ren are portrayed to be living blissfully in each other's embrace in Gibori. |||
