Tia watches him leave on his horse, feeling uneasy because things are now like a battlefield outside. Later, at the Angenas mansion, Empress Ravini hears from Ethan Klaus that Clerivan has secretly entered the Lombardi mansion. She gets very angry and blames Ethan for not stopping him earlier. She orders him to find important contract and land documents, which are very important for her plans. The contract is her biggest weakness now, even though she has the Emperor’s support. Finally, Ravini gives a dangerous order. She tells Ethan to stop Clerivan from attending the upcoming meeting at any cost. If he tries to leave the Lombardi mansion, she orders him to be killed. She believes that without Clerivan, the Pellet Company will collapse, and she smiles at the thought. 

Crenny returns to Lombardi after a long time and feels happy seeing the familiar place again. He has been doing very well at the academy, always ranking at the top, and is proud that he will finish his studies faster than expected. While heading to the mansion, his carriage suddenly stops because Imperial Knights are blocking the way. He becomes confused and worried when he sees the mansion surrounded by troops. Gillieu and Mairon reassure him and tell him to ask Tia for details. Inside the mansion, the atmosphere is tense. Grandpa watches the situation carefully. Gallahan and Shannanet suggest helping Tia because the conflict with the Imperial family is putting pressure on her. However, Grandpa refuses. He believes this is Tia’s battle and that she must overcome it on her own to prove she is strong enough to lead Lombardi in the future. Meanwhile, the conflict has already caused serious damage.
