Raeliana wakes up in Noah's room, with Noah lying half-naked beside her. Panicked, she seeks Adam's help in fleeing the mansion. Noah sends out all his knights to find her, but Raeliana uses a maid disguise to avoid discovery.

Raeliana attends the annual monster hunt in the Sycret Mountains, where each lady traditionally gives a handkerchief to her chosen participant, who in turn gives the lady a monster he's killed. On the first day, Noah makes a request of Raeliana...

Noah and his retinue return from their hunt with a very surprising quarry in tow. Preparations for the lighting of the sacred flame begin, but His Holiness is distracted by other matters. Raeliana's letter to Beatrice finally gets a response.
