===Differences in Adaptation===
*In the novel, when the Agnese Forces fought the knights at the yacht harbor in Edinburgh, it is said that Agnese's group was composed of 250 people and they were facing 700 knights, Chapter 4 Part 1 but there were much fewer people shown in the anime.
*This episode doesn't adapt the first part of the conversation between Laura Stuart and Elizard, which leaves a hint concerning Laura's age, because it is said in the novel that she and Elizard have known each other for a very long time. Epilogue
*Villian, rather than being held by knights when she faced Carissa in the anime, was immobilized by fear in the novel.
===Animation Trivia===
