Episode 3 begins with Terakomari Gandesblood, the reluctant leader of the vampires, attending a social event. There, she encounters Millicent Bluenight, who questions her about her role as the Crimson Lord and her past actions. Millicent reveals her identity and declares her intent to kill Terakomari.

The episode takes a dark turn as Millicent infiltrates a party and attempts to assassinate Terakomari. Bellius Hound Cerbero, one of Terakomari’s subordinates, intervenes and saves her. Millicent escapes, leaving Terakomari shaken and doubting her own worth.

A week later, Terakomari’s subordinates discuss the possibility of a spy among their ranks. They also mention that injuries caused by ritual objects, like those used by Millicent, can lead to permanent death. Terakomari remains withdrawn, reflecting on her past and her role as the Crimson Lord.

Villhaze, Terakomari’s maid, visits her and offers emotional support. She leaves Terakomari a letter, revealing that she was once bullied by Millicent and that Terakomari had saved her. Villhaze’s letter reignites Terakomari’s determination.

Millicent kidnaps Villhaze and leaves Terakomari a message, demanding that she come alone to the "Ruins of La Nelient’s Castle." Terakomari resolves to confront Millicent, encouraged by the support of her subordinates and Villhaze’s letter.

Terakomari arrives at the designated location, where Millicent reveals that she is holding Villhaze hostage. Millicent questions the meaning of killing if death does not follow, hinting at her deeper motives. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, setting the stage for a showdown between Terakomari and Millicent.
