Shiroe, Crusty, and Michitaka are invited to the palace by the Free Cities of Eastel.  The nobles of the land invite the three of them to various meetings and seem to be trying to find out more about Akihabara and the Round Table.  Crusty is attracted to the daughter of Duke Cowen, who is noble, beautiful, but seems somehow lazy...
I believe they see us as potential 
enemies because of our power.
Sie sehen uns wohl als potenzielle
Feinde, weil wir so stark sind.
Creo que nos ven como 
enemigos por nuestro poder.
C’est notre force
qui les rend hostiles.
Penso che l'inimicizia sia a causa della nostra forza.
Acho que eles nos veem como inimigos
 em potencial por causa da nossa força.
А неприязнь…
скорее всего из-за нашей силы.
