Synopsis

The chapter begins with Eugene being discovered at what appears to be Hamel's grave, where he is then confronted by a character (possibly a family member), and a bit later the two fly on the character's wyvern to the Black Lion Castle. He is then pressured by the leadership of the Lionheart family (the senate) to join the Black Lion Knight Order, with the main point of debate being his recent travels and the potential for his allegiance being elsewhere. Despite being offered a prestigious position, Eugene shows strong resistance and prioritizes his personal honor.
