Hadis confronts Marquess Beil's group. Jill's desires may impact events. Marquess's cruel remarks toward Hadis concern Jill, who fears Hadis overexerts himself.
Hadis' enemies are conspiring against him. Jill has secretly worked out a plan to protect him, but she's locked inside a barrier and Rave won't let her out. Instead, he tells her the real reason she was chosen as the Dragon Consort.
Jill has been accepted into the Dragon Knights, but during an aptitude test referred to as dragon initiation, Captain Elentzia's dragon does something unexpected. Jill heads home feeling useless - until Hadis talks to her.
Risteard brings Hadis to Elentzia. Jill encourages Hadis to talk to them, which leads to a shocking development. In the midst of their negotiations, a dragon knight enters with news that a force has arrived to burn down the town.
At the castle, Elentzia asks Jill to look after her little brothers. The party leaves, hoping to meet up with reinforcements, but wary of a trap. Jill reminds herself that she's there to make sure Hadis never feels alone.
The truth of the Rave imperial family is revealed. Hadis explodes with rage. His expression, twisted with hate and despair, is exactly the same as that of the Hadis Jill knows from the future. Will she be able to save him this time?
