## Synopsis

### That fateful night

On a stormy night, Lord Goldborne guides a young Lucia to the Goldborne manor. Inside the manor, Goldborne's daughter Kirsi is sitting with her cat Knave by a window when she sees her father returning. Goldborne's servant attempts to open the front door, but is interrupted by Kirsi, who wants to open it herself and greet her father. Kirsi opens the door and asks if her father brought her a present, and her father enters the manor and introduces Lucia to Kirsi. Kirsi remarks that Lucia is a mess, but her father reminds her to greet Lucia back. Lucia responds by hugging Kirsi, dirtying the latter's dress.
Goldborne tells Kirsi that Lucia will he living with them in the manor, remarking that she would be a good lady-in-waiting for his daughter's wedding. Lucia inquires about the wedding, and Kirsi reveals that she will someday be marrying Prince Reimund and become his queen, with the marriage having been arranged since her birth. Kirsi then attempts to give Lucia a makeover, first trying to remove her dirty clothes, but Goldborne stops Kirsi before she can uncover Lucia's wings, telling her that it is time for them to go to bed before picking Lucia up. Goldborne's servant then asks if he wished for him to take Lucia, but Goldborne insists on taking her to her bed himself before assuring the young fairy that she is safe.

### In the castle

Years later in King Reimund's castle, Lucia wakes up and tucks her ears into her hair. She then binds her wings into her custom corset and dresses herself. Walking through a hall, she notices Knave scratching on Kirsi's door after the latter accidentally locked him out. Lucia opens the door and lets the cat in, but she notices several empty wine bottles outside Kirsi's door, which worries her. Inside Kirsi's room, Knave crawls onto Kirsi's bed and sits on top of a sleeping Kirsi, which Lucia finds amusing. Lucia then wakes up Kirsi, who is reluctant to get out of bed as a queen is allowed to sleep in. In response, Lucia proceeds to pull the sheets from Kirsi's bed and open her curtains, reminding Kirsi that she is not yet queen, and that she likely will not be sleeping in even as queen.

Lucia inquires about the wine bottles outside Kirsi's room, to which Kirsi responds by asking what she was supposed to do for fun. Lucia reminds Kirsi that today is the tournament. Kirsi falls back on her bed, wondering why King Reimund cannot do something more romantic, then asks if Lucia thinks he is avoiding her. Lucia denies this, countering that, if anything, Kirsi is the one avoiding Reimund. Lucia then tells Kirsi to stop avoiding Reimund and to shop drinking. Kirsi responds that it would be easier to do that if the Human–Fairy war did not take too much of Reimund's time, making Lucia nervous. Kirsi then comforted Lucia by reminding her that the wedding would be just as big a change for the both of them, and stating that she would see to if that Lucia's wedding will take place not too long after her own. Lucia responded that they should get Kirsi ready for the tournament before planning any other weddings.

### The tournament

At the tournament, Norrix prepares his champion knight for his upcoming fight, reminding his creation to not fail him as this will be his only chance to prove himself.
