Subaru is paralyzed with awe when Crusch Karsten removes her eyepatch, revealing a glowing, golden left eye that he recognizes as a genuine "Dragon’s Eye." Sensing his hesitation, Beatrice attempts to blind Crusch with Shamak magic, but Crusch effortlessly evades and shatters the spells. Tiga Laureon joins the fray, but Crusch easily bypasses his attacks. Subaru realizes the Dragon's Eye grants her near-instantaneous reaction times. When Subaru tries to strike with his whip, Crusch blocks it easily, though Subaru glimpses profound sorrow in her original amber right eye. Tiga is severely beaten and knocked unconscious. To subdue her, Subaru rushes forward; Beatrice deploys their absolute defense magic, E·M·M, allowing Subaru to safely close the distance and pin Crusch to the wall using Invisible Providence. Before they can talk, Crusch forcibly pulls Subaru down just as a massive fire engulfs the room, knocking him unconscious. Subaru wakes up with severe burns in a sewer passage between the Noble and Commercial Districts. Beatrice is beside him, and Crusch—who saved them from the fire and carried Subaru to safety—is bandaging his arm. Crusch insists she was justified in executing Miklotov McMahon and his associates, claiming they were traitors who intentionally concealed prophecies from the Dragon Tablet regarding the royal family's deaths. She explains they used the "Dragon Church" to manipulate Ferris into trying to force her withdrawal from the Royal Selection, violating Ferris's oath. Though Subaru is conflicted over his respect for both Miklotov and Ferris, Beatrice warns that they must flee. Crusch reveals that she and Subaru are now fugitives, actively hunted by the Kingdom’s soldiers and Tiga under suspicion of treason and Miklotov's murder.
