The Three Dukes meet to discuss what to do about King Souma. In Amidonia, Gaius receives word from Georg accepting his aid, and prepares to invade Elfrieden over the objections of his finance minister. Souma delivers his ultimatum to the Three Dukes.
Those who harbor ill will toward the king
Nützlich im Kampf gegen den König sind
diejenigen, die einen Groll gegen den König hegen.
Quienes le tienen mala voluntad
serán peones útiles para destronarlo.
Os que têm má vontade para com o rei,
serão peões eficazes em derrubá-lo.
