Kip. 8: The Magic Definition of the Monster and the Commoner

8

At the Separate Palace, an alarm suddenly goes off, meaning someone infiltrated the residence. Illia and Lainie try to flee but are intercepted by the assailant, who is revealed to be Algard. Meanwhile, at the post-lecture party, one of Algard's friends who attended the presentation, Moritz Chartreuse, constantly tries to start a conversation with Anisphia, much to her annoyance. However, upon hearing the alarm going off, the princess realizes that the lecture was a distraction and rushes back with Euphyllia while Tilty restains the guards using her magic. Upon arriving, Anisphia and Euphyllia find Illia and Lainie mortally wounded at Algard's hand, who ripped out the magic crystal that is the source of Lainie's powers from her body and put it in himself to become a vampire as well. While Euphyllia heals Illia and Lainie with her magic, Anisphia questions Algard's motives, to which he reveals that the kingdom was grown corrupt so he intends to start a "revolution" to overturn the current order. Realizing her brother is just suffering from an inferiority complex toward her, Anisphia rejects his vision and prepares to fight him to stop him. (Source: Wikipedia)
