Ep. 16: Lucile murders her parents to protect Ferris while warning Ryner away from her

16

A flashback reveals Ferris was deemed unworthy of training after years of harsh abuse by her parents, who intended to use her solely for bearing a child fathered by her own father. Lucile kills her parents to protect Ferris from this fate. Meanwhile, Sion invites Ryner to Estabul, but Ryner declines. Ryner visits Arua and Kuku at the Eris residence, sensing tension at the family dojo. He encounters Lucile, who warns him not to associate with Ferris or face death. Later, Milk gives Ryner an invitation to her birthday party scheduled for the next day. Unbeknownst to Milk, Luke Stokkart swapped the invitation with a writ from Sion to the Pursuit Squadron, ordering them to kill Ryner if he acts against Roland or goes out of control.
