In Episode 19, much is at stake for Lawrence as he attempts to outwit Amati, who is determined to buy back Holo's debt. Marc and Lant discuss Lawrence's precarious situation, with Marc hoping that Diana will help him. As the pyrite prices rise, Lawrence grows increasingly worried, fearing that Diana may have struck a deal with Amati.

Lawrence tries to manipulate the pyrite market, hoping to trigger a price crash that would ruin Amati's plan. However, complications arise when another buyer enters the scene, threatening to thwart his strategy. Eventually, Diana's representative arrives with the bad news that Diana cannot keep her promise to help Lawrence. Despite this setback, Lant encourages Lawrence to keep fighting, leading to a critical moment where Lawrence spreads a rumor about wheat, triggering a mass sell-off of pyrite. Thus, Amati's plan is successfully thwarted.

Holo then reveals that she secretly bought pyrite from Diana, proving her cunning and loyalty. She also confesses that she signed the marriage contract with Amati to spur Lawrence into action. The following explores the evolving dynamic between Lawrence and Holo, with Holo hinting at the possibility of a deeper relationship but quickly dismissing the thought. She also reveals that Diana is not human but a bird that can transform into a woman and recounts the story of Diana's tragic love affair with a monk.

The episode ends with Holo expressing her desire to return to Yoitsu, showing her readiness to face her past, as she and Lawrence attend the Kumerson Festival and reflect on the trials they've endured and the bond that ties them together.
