## Synopsis

### On the losing side

Quinn reveals to Lucia Chauvet that the Human–Fairy war had ended nearly a century ago. Lucia is skeptical, stating that there had been many battles and that King Reimund is the head of the war effort. Quinn scoffs at the idea that Reimund is a true king, claiming that he is only one in title, and says that war meetings are not real battles. Lucia asks what Quinn is doing in the castle if the war is truly over and why the humans still fear the fairies. Quinn states that the end of a war does not mean that everything is resolved, and that living on the losing side is far worse. Lucia asks what happened during the war, and why the humans would still think that the war is ongoing. Quinn says that they are not the right fairy to ask, but Lucia reminds them that they are the only fairy she can ask.

Quinn once again refuses to answer Lucia's question, believing she would not believe them anyway. However, they then tell Lucia to meet an elf going by the pseudonym "V" for the answers she desires, telling her that they work in the black market. Quinn then musters up enough magic through their magic-suppressing collar to mark Lucia's hand with mark of V and tells her that V will only meet with those recommended by another fairy. They then tell Lucia that V might be able to help her if she is set on living with the humans. Lucia asks what Quinn means by this, but Quinn refuses to elaborate and tells her that she needs to wear a mask to hide her identity when she enters the black market.

### A fairy's promise

Quinn asks Lucia if she plans on uncaging Lazuli. Lucia, still hesitant to release her, asks if she will go back to their fairy faction, to which Quinn responds that she couldn't with the royal falcons flying around the castle. They then state that she would be much safer with Lucia and asks for her hand. Lazuli, not wanting to part with Quinn, frantically shouts in her language, but Quinn tells her to be quiet and that it must be done. Quinn then makes a vow with Lucia that Lazuli will be her companion during their incarceration until they are free or until Lucia releases her herself, that that they will be struck down by the Goddess if the vow is broken. Quinn's collar then violently suppresses their magic, prompting Lucia to ask if they are alright. Quinn responds that they were never better, and explains that they just made a fairy vow that will gruesomely kill them if it is broken. A still angry Lazuli continues to bang on her lantern, but Quinn reassures her that they are not in any real danger so long as she sticks by Lucia's side. Lucia thanks Quinn and says that she will bring Lazuli to visit them often, and Quinn tells her to keep her safe, stating that no fairy is safe with Modeus around. Lucia asks why that is, revealing that she was the one who named him and that he is her bodyguard. A shocked Quinn then tells her that Modeus was created to kill fairies.
