Ep. 5: Royal Palace Intrigue and Grief: Battles, Betrayals, and New Alliances

5

Ymir leverages the broadcast to promote her weapons, yet Leina wins her bout. During the fight between Lana and Airi, Lana clings to Cattleya, who hesitates to kill him. Cattleya gains the upper hand until she spots Owen frozen in Aldra’s Palace of Grief, causing her to surrender. Aldra fulfills his promise by petrifying Cattleya to reunite her with Owen. Grief-stricken, Lana attacks Aldra with Cattleya’s spear, but Airi intervenes, allowing them to flee. They encounter Risty and the Assassins of the Fang; Risty spares Lana after recalling the orphans she once protected. Lana decides to stay with Airi to care for him in Cattleya’s place. Meanwhile, Ymir asks Leina to let her tend to her sword. The next match is scheduled between Claudette and Menace.
