Episode Description:
After sadistically punishing Cid for neglecting her Claire reveals she has replaced Rose in the festival and insists Cid watch her from VIP seating. Cid sits beside Iris, who apologises for the Zenon incident. They discuss the dark knight competitor, Beatrix the elvish War Goddess, the festivals very first champion. Cid realises Beatrix is Alpha’s aunt. Cid sneaks away to don his Mundane disguise to duel Annerose. Perv takes his seat beside Iris, who despises him. Perv is confident Rose will return and marry him. He also suggests he is interested in hiring strong warriors; particularly Annerose. In the arena Annerose attempts to match Mundane’s speed, but is defeated. Iris is determined to defeat Mundane in the next match. Perv has Mundane investigated, though he is confident he has no connection to Shadow Garden, who are all female. Annerose thanks Mundane for showing her she still has room to improve and invites him to work for her country’s government, but he refuses. Cid looks forward to defeating Iris so he can become a legend by mysteriously disappearing immediately after his victory. Claire meets him at his room, quietly reminding him he forgot to watch her match.
