Ep. 7: Aping the Frown of Beauty

7

Genia took the bones from an excavation site to construct Mechadra, a mechanical dragon. Fearing it could cause an international incident with the Star Dragon Mountain Range, Kazuya decides to contact them with an apology. He also gives Genia a new lab so he can keep an eye on her. Meanwhile, Julius faces resentment from his people after trying to turn Amidonia back into a dictatorship. Back at the palace, Carla becomes a chambermaid. When the people of Amidonia publicly declare loyalty to Elfrieden, Julius is forced to flee to the Empire. Based on how sudden and successful the rebellion was, Kazuya and Hakuya suspect it was organized by one person. Without a leader, Amidonia is invaded by two neighboring kingdoms, the Lunarian Orthodox Papal State and the Republic of Turgis, thus Amidonia's nobles officially request Amidonia become part of the Elfrieden Kingdom. Despite the considerable disadvantages, Kazuya agrees and puts Colbert, Amidonia's former finance minister, in charge of rebuilding Amidonia. Roroa, Julius' younger sister, smuggles herself into Kazuya's court in a carpet, but Kazuya discovers her due to knowing the legend of how Cleopatra met Caesar. Impressed, Roroa announces her intention to marry Kazuya. (Source: Wikipedia)
