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...
