In Episode 2, the story continues with Yukiya of Taruhi, who must confront the consequences of his earlier confrontation. The episode begins at the Northern House's mansion, where Yukiya is reprimanded by his father, Yukimasa, for the visible injuries on his face. Amid a discussion about the strategic marriage alliance with Lady Shiratama, Yukiya admits to provoking a court raven, which led to the blows. The incident angers the northern nobility, who immediately take action, particularly Genya, who reprimands the responsible court raven, Kazumaro.
As reparation for the disgrace, it is suggested that Yukiya should serve directly under the prince to learn proper manners, a proposal his family reluctantly accepts. Amid these developments, preparations continue at the Cherry Blossom Palace, where various nobles, including Asebi and Shiratama, navigate the intricacies of palace politics and their own ambitions to ally themselves with the prince.
Yukiya's arrival at court is marked by nervousness and curiosity about his new role and the enigmatic prince. He is confronted with the harsh reality that the palace is understaffed, with only one other servant present—Sumio of the Yamauchi Guard. As Yukiya adjusts to his new duties, the narrative reveals the deeper layers of courtly intrigue and the challenges he must face in this complex and often mysterious environment.
The episode ends with Yukiya beginning his service in a nearly deserted palace.
