Episode Title:
The Sea God and the Second Ordeal
Episode Description:
A feast is held in honor of the war hero Duke Galois of the whale-like Ichthyan race. Galois, who is abusive to his disfigured servant, arrives and insults Sariphi for being human. She attempts to give him a tour of the palace, but forgets a fact and angers him. He gets even angrier when she cannot stomach his gift of wine. She excuses herself from the feast, but Leonhart follows her, shares food, and kisses her. She later asks Galois for a dance, but he makes his servant take his place. The servant says he was burned by humans as revenge for killing several of them, but he does not hate humans. When he sees Sariphi and his servant are having fun, Galois angrily threatens him with his sword, but she shields him. When he attempts to strike her, the servant catches the sword, then reveals that he is the true Galois and the fake was his son, Joz. Galois explains the ruse was to test the character of the human who would be their queen, and she passed. Sariphi urges Leonhart not to punish them for tricking everyone, so he orders them to continue to protect his kingdom from sea invaders. Once everyone has gone home, Leonhart asks Sariphi for a dance.
