After Euphyllia's engagement is annulled in front of her peers, Anisphia swoops in and carries her off. She returns to the palace and tells both girls's fathers that she wants Euphyllia to be her assistant, in hopes that it will restore the humiliated Euphyllia's honor. Thus the two of them begin to live together in a bizarre new arrangement...
Oh, well, it's spirits that make 
the use of magic possible, right?
لأنّ الأرواح هي ما يجعل استخدام
السّحر مُمكِناً، أليس كذلك؟
Na ja, erst die Geister erlauben
es einem ja, zu zaubern.
Ah, beh, sono gli spiriti 
che rendono possibile l'uso della magia, no?
Ah, bem, é que são os espíritos que
fazem a magia ser possível, né?
