Description

Determination Shadow Garden infiltrates a cult facility seeking another relic but find it already gone. Cid plans to rescue Reina for Rose but overhears Perv and Reina plotting to kill Rose after the wedding. As Shadow, Cid shows Rose that Reina was having sex with Perv and plotting Rose’s death, hoping her rage will inspire her tyrant bloodlust. Later Cid, as himself, coerces Rose into deciding what she wants to do, then accidentally leaves the ring behind. Rose assumes the ring is some sort of cryptic gift. Perv reveals to gain control over the ring he must marry Rose to transfer its magic to himself, just as he discovers the ring missing, which he desperately hides from Mordred. At the wedding Rose publicly refuses to marry Perv and puts on the ring believing it will give her powers; instead it unlocks a video recording of her father from before the poison broke his mind, accusing Perv of treason and conspiring with the cult, then implores the public to trust Rose as their next queen. The public cheer as Rose calls for Perv’s arrest for treason against the crown, but Perv and Queen Reina are both abruptly beheaded by Mordred who possesses the missing relic. Its proximity to the ring allows him to activate the Black Rose and summon Archdemon Ragnarok to destroy all of Oriana. Mordred is stunned when, in his moment of victory, Cid appears as Lord Shadow and casually severs Ragnarok’s arm.
