The episode begins with the execution of Lieutenant General Pereiro by Princess Starlia for planning a coup in a neighboring country. Her unique ability to detect guilt through her "dragon eyes" is highlighted. Meanwhile, Crish Weiss, an apothecary and thaumaturge, is introduced. He is in the capital, which appears peaceful despite the dragon attacks. But suddenly, explosions shake the city.

Crish, who secretly orchestrated the events, uses teleportation magic to escape the capital. He lands at the Argentum Corps' base, where he attempts to blend in and conceal his true intentions. His aura, the key to his deception, is carefully controlled to avoid detection. However, Princess Starlia's unique ability to see through lies complicates his plans.

Starlia's ability to perceive the true nature of people is further explored. She sees humans as embodiments of their life stories and deeds. Thus, her swordmaster Garm, the Blade Wolf, appears to her as a fusion of man and sword, symbolizing his devotion to his craft. Starlia herself uses silver tools as extensions of her body, as she lacks arms.

The episode escalates when Starlia identifies Crish as a mass murderer due to his aura. Despite his protests, she orders his execution. Crish attempts to ally with Ragna but is rejected.

The episode takes a turn when Starlia encounters Ragna, who transcends the limits of power. She is visibly shaken and becomes infatuated with his appearance.

The final scenes show Lady Ultimatia in distress, pleading for her sister's help.
