Ep. 12: Marika escorts Gruier to the Artificial Womb on a ghost ship amid royal conflict.

Marika brings along Misa, Hyakume, and Schnitzer to escort Gruier inside the ghost ship. After passing by various sections of the ship, the entourage arrives at the Artificial Womb, where it is said that all members of the Serenity royal family were genetically made and born here since the first king. Gruier truly wants to destroy the Artificial Womb since she believes the time of the royal family has ended and the kingdom should be governed by its people. However, Grunhilde and her soldiers arrive, and she states that the Artificial Womb should remain to create a new heir in hopes of bringing glory back to the royal family. As the pirates and soldiers begin to face off, Marika throws a smoke grenade and gasses both Gruier and Grunhilde to sleep. Gruier wakes up to find out that the pirates and soldiers made an alliance. The mission to destroy the Artificial Womb was pointless since it was no longer functional, seeing as Gruier would have killed the last princess of the royal family to be born from it. With both Gruier and Grunhilde making peace, they return the golden ghost ship to the Serenity Kingdom Star System and the Bentenmaru returns home. (Source: Wikipedia)
