Summary
Genia had taken the bones from an excavation site to construct Mechadra, a mechanical dragon which, fortunately, doesn’t function. Fearing it could cause an international incident with the Star Dragon Mountain Range Kazuya decides to contact them with an apology. He also gives Genia a new lab so he can keep an eye on her. Julius faces resentment from his people after trying to turn Amidonia back into a dictatorship. Carla is made a palace chambermaid. The people of Amidonia publicly declare loyalty to Elfrieden and in a well-orchestrated rebellion Julius is forced to flee to the Empire. Based on how sudden and successful the rebellion was Kazuya and Hakuya suspect it was organised by one person. Without a leader Amidonia is invaded by two neighbouring kingdoms, the Lunarian Orthodox Papal State and the Republic of Turgis, thus Amidonia’s nobles officially request Amidonia become part of Elfrieden Kingdom. Despite the considerable disadvantages Kazuya agrees and puts Colbert, Amidonia’s former finance minister, in charge of rebuilding Amidonia. Roroa, Julius’ younger sister, smuggles herself into Kazuya’s court in a carpet, but Kazuya discovers her due to knowing the legend of how Cleopatra met Caesar. Impressed, Roroa announces her intention to marry Kazuya.
