Summary
Lambda, aka 11, believes she should kill Rose but relents after Cid decided to visit Rose himself. Epsilon, as famous musician Shiron, is able to escort Cid into the palace as her student. Perv demands Cid perform a song to prove he is Shiron’s student. Cid dazzles the nobles with a performance of Moonlight Sonata while using magic to sneakily rob them of money and jewellery, including the Ring of Succession from Perv’s pocket he mistakenly assumes to be Rose’s ring for the wedding. Rose’s maid, Margaret, attempts to lure Cid into becoming her father’s personal musician in exchange for Rose’s location. After escaping her, Cid enters Rose’s room. Unaware Cid from the academy is also Shadow, Rose is glad to see Cid whom she still loves. Despite his plea she resume her old dedication to the sword (hopefully restarting her journey to tyrant queen), she refuses and asks him to forget about her as she still intends to marry Perv. Cid later overhears Perv threatening to kill Reina unless Rose continues to obey him. Epsilon and Lambda are confused Cid didn’t punish Rose, but decide he must be preoccupied with the missing ring, which controls the weapon Black Rose that could destroy Oriana Kingdom with one attack. Perv reports to his superior Mordred he will soon control Black Rose, completely unaware the ring box in his pocket is empty. It is also revealed Perv is having an affair with a willing Reina.
