In the latest episode, viewers experience an exciting climax that ties all loose ends together into a cohesive whole. What truly sets this episode apart, however, is its focus on the relationship between Algard and Anis.

In the previous episode, we learned that Algard's coup attempt was motivated by his pride and envy of his sister. In this episode, however, we see another side of the story. Flashbacks take us to a time when Anis took Algard on magical adventures to teach him about magic. Unfortunately, one of these adventures went wrong, and Algard was injured. The nobles of the kingdom suspected that Anis, who possessed no magical abilities, intended to kill her magically gifted brother. To avoid being pitted against each other, Anis removed herself from the line of succession. This action had the opposite effect on Algard, who felt betrayed by his sister's decision and ultimately became the monster we see in this episode.

The beauty of this story lies in how Algard's motives are confusing, making him feel like a real person. People often have illogical and contradictory motivations, and this is reflected in Algard's character as well. Over the course of the episode, Algard's attitude changes, and he comes to realize that his sister is the better choice for the throne.

After Algard's defeat, Anis is left to pick up the pieces. She is now the sole legitimate heir to the kingdom—a responsibility she feels neither prepared for nor suited to handle.
