The episode begins with Rae Taylor playing chess against Prince Rod and impressing him with her skills. Rae's chess knowledge comes from her experience with the AI chess game "Revolution," the otome game she really liked in her previous life. Prince Rod invites her to a rematch and acknowledges her abilities.

Rae, Claire François, and others gather to play various games, including chess and poker. Prince Yu joins them, and it becomes clear that he has been manipulating the poker game in his favor. Rae notices but says nothing. Prince Yu finds Rae's silence fascinating.

The episode introduces the concept of the "King's Game," a game where participants draw lots, and the one who draws the "King" gets to give orders to the others. Rae uses this game to bring Claire and Prince Thane closer. Prince Thane realizes the game is a test, leaves, and warns Rae not to try something like that again.

The episode discusses Rae's feelings for Claire. Rae admits that she is probably lesbian and has never loved a man. She also reveals that her goal isn't to be with Claire but to make her happy. Claire, who overhears, struggles with her own feelings and prejudices.

The episode also deals with prejudice and misunderstandings. Rae faces derogatory remarks from other students but receives unexpected support from Claire, who confronts them. However, it remains unclear whether Claire's actions stem from her sense of justice or her own discomfort about her unintentional misbehavior.

The episode ends with Rae practicing magic for the upcoming week.
