## Synopsis

Villar's Mage Leader, Margaret, is about to turn 25. Villar only employs female Mages, and when they reach the age of 25, he has their contracts voided. A lavish party is thrown. All in attendance express their gratitude to Margaret, as well as their sorrow at having to bid her farewell. It is then that Villar takes her hand and asks her to dance. Siluca looks on with growing frustration as they dance passionately, almost flaunting their mutual feelings for each other. Inspired by Lord Villar and Margaret's dance, Theo and Siluca make an attempt at dancing, much to the distress of Siluca's feet since Theo has never danced before. After the dancing, Prince Milza has words with Theo that lead to a sparring match on the balcony. For the first few moves Theo is able to hold off Lord Kooches' attacks, but he ends up sitting on the ground having to admit defeat and thanking Kooches for the "lesson". As Lord Villar and his army begin their trip to the Union Lords Assembly, Villar decides to capture a few of the Alliance countries that they will be passing through. Prince Kooches volunteers to go to one of the castles and capture it by himself. He presents himself to the lord of the castle and the other lords there and demands their surrender. They attack him and are all killed, which gives Kooches several crests. He charges one of the servants to be the witness to these events and to report it to the Factory Alliance.

## Long Summary

Count Villar is invited to attend a meeting involving all of the Union Lords in Jalucia. Although disinterested, Villar decides to attend it. Also, it's noted that Margaret's 25th birthday is coming up as well. Elsewhere, Laura showcases her magic to Siluca and then Margaret enters the scene and abruptly leaves. Siluca, however, understood the tacit message she was trying to convey clearly. She sees Villar in his quarters and has her oversee Margaret's 25th birthday party. Furthermore, he assigns Siluca and Theo to attend the upcoming Union Lord meeting with him. This is because Phederico Rossini will be in attendance.

On the night of the party, Margaret conveys her wish that she take good care of Villar in her steed and enjoys a dance with the Count. Witnessing such an amazing dance be done by the Count and Margaret, Theo forces Siluca to dance with him. After the dance, Prince Milza approaches Theo and insults him. Theo though takes the insult as a compliment. This annoys Prince Milza who notes that he doesn't like Theo and has him follow him outside to challenge him to a duel. The Prince wins the duel and chastises Theo for his lack of ambition and claims he has no right to be a lord. Theo retorts that he has a goal that he wants to achieve, even though many have fallen for him to achieve it. Also, Theo notes that Prince Milza strives for oppression with military force. That comments anger Prince Milza and claims that one day he hopes to serve the one who wields the Grancrest and hopes it's Count Villar. Theo is then approached by Siluca who notes her anxiety from the entire confrontation and he concurs. It's noted that his goal will be the end of life to many people, but Silca notes that he's empathic and has the power to bring people together. When asked if she'll follow him down that path, Siluca answers, of course, she will.

After the party, Margaret and Villar talk with each other in the Count's Quarters. Margaret leaves Siluca in charge of political affairs while Laura will be left in charge of the magical ones. The discussion continues where, Count Villa elaborates about his parents and how he suffered abuse by his mother to protect him from his father. The revelation moves Margaret to tears and she confesses her love for the Count, whom although reciprocates them cannot fully do so due his personal reasons.

The next day, Count Villar holds a meeting with Theo, Siluca, Lassic, Moreno, and other Lords. The meeting concerns the upcoming Union Lord meeting and how Lassic's army will subjugate the Clovis, Forbes, and Ismeia. As their plan takes action, unnamed lords of Forbes align with the Union. Once becoming privy to the other lords of Forbes whereabouts and actions, it's decided that Theo will handle Baron Radovan. Prince Milza volunteers himself to take care of Baron Brannis who has himself barricaded inside a castle. The Prince arrives at the castle and immediately takes control of the situation and kills all of the lords.
