Abel and Asta head to the Empress’ palace for the meeting in an attempt to free Ion of his bad name. When they arrive, they meet Count Sulayman, who has a connection with Asta as she used to call him uncle. Sulayman informs Asta that Ion will almost certainly be convicted of the crime, and that he will state the rumor he heard of the two outsiders accompanying him. He adds that he heard they were from the Vatican, meaning the Vatican had a hand to play in the Count’s death.
Sulayman leaves, and a worried Abel and Asta head to the palace center where the Empress soon makes an appearance.
Meanwhile, Ion and Esther go shopping. After getting lost, they meet a young girl named Seth. She teases the two, saying that they’re on a date, but eventually leads them to Minmarl. Once inside his shop, Esther and Ion discover a Death Hunter who has killed Minmarl. Ion knocks the Death Hunter down and asks Minmarl who ordered the attack on his grandmother. With his last breath Minmarl declares that it was Radu.
Shocked, Ion remains motionless when the Death Hunter rises and throws the axe at him. Esther knocks him away and shoots the Death Hunter. Ion asks if she’s alright, but her back begins to bleed from the axe. Seth arrives and helps Esther via medicine.
