Synopsis

Eugene arrives to borrow the powerful Lionhart sword Winnead, encountering several family members, including Carmen Lionhart, the Third Captain of the Black Lion Knight Order and his Grand-aunt. The chapter details the terms of the loan, which involve risking his life if the sword is destroyed, and uses his own artifact, the Cape of Darkness, as collateral. Eugene meets with branch family members who discuss the political dynamics within the Lionhart family and their personal grudges against the main family, while others are present for this trade and observe Eugene closely.
