Sariphi then tells everyone that he's their king and asks why they have to do this just because he has human blood and that his majesty has worked hard for everyone all this time. One of Set's men then yells that they will execute Sariphi but before he can strike her Lanteveldt comes just in time and then fights the guy and multiple others of Set's men and tells them that he's been trained by the royal guard himself.

Lanteveldt then tells Sariphi that they shouldn't overstay their welcome, Sariphi then looks back as Maru turns El, and then she smiles and leaves.

Lanteveldt then tells Sariphi that those men that tried to seperate each class was sent by Set and that Set might have been planning this for a while Sariphi then says that he must have done it to the sky too. Lanteveldt then says that if he figured out the king's secret and engineered this he could see the crazy speech that he said to the town of Ozmargo and that the current king doesn't have royal blood but that Set is the former king's child and that he's the only real heir to the throne of Ozmargo.

Jormungand then yells while being restricted how he could be of Royal blood and Set tells him that he was born to the former king of Ozmargo and one of the concubines and that it was kept hidden of a rare exception norm that he takes after his mother instead of the royal bloodline. The archpriest says that there is no doubt because the archpriest signature of that time is genuine, Jormungand then says that just because he "has" royal blood that he should rule.

Set then says that he is delighted that he understands and that he didn't expect him to be so open minded, Jormungand then pulls the guards restricting him away and walks towards Set and asks Anubis if that is why he just stands there and asks if Set is the king he serve, Anubis then says that he only serves the true king which suprises Jormungand he then hits Anubis. Jormungand then says if thats how he do things that he would take a different path.

Jormungand then says that the king is the only one he will serve and that he will defend him with his life, Set then says that he took his side after all and calls Jormungand a rebel and tells the guards to seize him.

Sariphi then says that she can't believe that happened while they were on the run and Lanteveldt says that if Set becomes king that means that the will be civil war in Ozmargo and says that Set is a supremacist. Sariphi asks what Lanteveldt thinks now that everyone has seen Leonhart's human form and he says that he was suprised and that he don't see it as a big deal and that Sariphi is the one he serve so the guy she picked is his king, Clops & Cy says they feel the same way about his majesty and that they'll go with him and Sariphi.

Sariphi then thanks Clops & Cy and Lanteveldt and says to herself that there are people who will stay with you no matter who he is, Sariphi then says that they can't keep hiding forever and that the only one who can stop the civil war is his majesty only and that they need to get him back on his feet but firstly she has to do something first: to find out the truth about the king.

Lanteveldt then asks if she will find clues about his majesty in the palace, Sariphi then says that the diary she hid is in a place only she knows and that it wouldn't be right to investigate it without him, Lanteveldt then says that they'll have to talk to him about it. Sariphi then asks them to wait outside while she goes in to the cave to talk to Leonhart.

Sariphi asks Leonhart to listen to her, she then starts to explain that Set is trying to become king and divide all the species into different classes and if it keeps up the beasts will end up fighting each other she then says that the only one who can stop this is him and that if he discover the truth and rise again that there will be people who will accept him, Leonhart then takes Sariphi's hands and asks why the bloodlines matter and that the poeple already has seen him in his human form and that he can't protect his people and Sariphi.

Leonhart then says that the beast realm has no place for him, he then hugs Sariphi and asks her to come with him to Yoana. A guard is seen telling Jormungand that his military exploits ends here and that a reptilian like him could never have led the royal guard under the last king, Amit then comes behind him and knocks the guard out which shocks Jormungand, Amit then takes the keys and tells him that she'll let him out and asks him to hurry. Jormungand then asks her why she would do this and she asks if he's going to find the king and asks her to take him with her, he says that he can't expose her to danger and Amit says that Sariphi might be with the king and that she'll do her best to avoid him slowing down another guard comes and tells them to catch the escapees, Jormungand then comes to her aid and vows to protect her aswell they then run out.

Sariphi then asks just the two of them and Leonhart says that in Yoana that he can live without hiding himself and she wont face judgement for her race and asks her to live quietly in Yoana. Sariphi asks if this is what he wants and Leonhart says that she's all he needs, Sariphi then pulls away and claps him and says that he's lying, that if he abandons Ozmargo that he's done so much to protect it and if he forgets the countries people and the people who stayed with him and says if he will ever be able to smile from the heart. She then starts to tear up and says that she'll go wherever he goes and that they'll be together no matter what and asks him not to lie to himself and says that he shouldn't use her as an excuse to run away.

Leonhart then takes her hands away from his face and wipes away the tear from her eye and asks her to forgive him, he then stands up and turns around that he is king but that he has a coward heart and that he has kept eyes away from him because of his contradictions and that his own divisions led to divisions in the kingdom and says that he's done running from himself, his hand then starts to tremble, Sariphi then takes his hand and it stops, she asks if he is scared and he says he is about to appear publicly in his human form and to find out where he came from and says that he will be alright, as long as Sariphi is here with him, that he has nothing to fear.

Amit wonders if Sariphi isn't hurt.
