Ep. 8: Alberic investigates Emperor Arthur while Toru rescues a fake princess from Neo Gaz
Konrad Steinmeitz advises Alberic to pause his search for Chaika Trabant, prompting Alberic to research Emperor Arthur amid growing doubts about his mission. Meanwhile, Toru and his companions meet the Neo Gaz Empire, a group seeking to restore the Gaz Empire under a blonde girl named Princess Chaika. Although Chaika befriends her, Toru, Akari, and Fredrika remain suspicious. When the princess attempts to rob a mansion and is ambushed, Toru confirms his suspicions after an attack by Neo Gaz members. The group reveals they are former Gaz citizens turned thieves after being abandoned by the Six Nations. Despite Toru's reluctance, Chaika urges him to save the fake princess, whose real name is Julia. Toru and his friends rescue Julia, earning their gratitude, though Toru is disappointed by their ignorance regarding their former emperor. Concurrently, the Council of Six Nations plans to suppress a rebellion led by Duke Gillard Gavarni, who controls a floating fortress.
