While washing dishes in the Royal Guest House with Garfiel and Petra, Subaru reflects on his meeting with the rumored "Saintess" Filore, who healed Duchess Crusch Karsten. They discuss how the Royal Selection has shifted into identifying whether Filore or Felt is the true royal heir. When Subaru expresses doubts about the Dragon Tablet's prophecies—comparing it to other manipulative, future-predicting items like Gospels—Petra and Garfiel are shocked; they had never conceived of doubting the Dragon. Subaru realizes how deeply the Kingdom trusts the "Dragon," giving him a profound appreciation for Crusch's radical ideal to break the covenant. He resolves to investigate the Dragon Tablet's true nature. Outside the kitchen, Rem and Meili discuss Subaru's self-sacrificing nature. Meili expresses guilt over her past villainous actions and fears impending retribution. Rem, also feeling guilty for her past cold treatment of Subaru, promises to protect Meili from this "payback." When a small crimson scorpion unexpectedly emerges from Meili's hair, a startled Rem accidentally drenches Meili with a pitcher of water. Subaru and Petra rush out to help, and Rem joins the kitchen cleanup to assist Subaru. The next morning, Sakura Element from the Divine Dragon Church pays an unannounced visit to the Emilia camp, hosted by Subaru, Emilia, Beatrice, and Otto. Sakura explains she is an "older sister figure" to Filore, who was raised in secret by the church. Sakura reveals that Filore ran away that morning to visit Emilia, and Sakura is simply waiting at the guest house for her to arrive. Suddenly, Filore bursts into the parlor and tearfully embraces Emilia, revealing the shocking news: she is being forced to participate in the Royal Selection as a candidate.
