Synopsis

Ethan, a knight sent by Marquis Bessus, is secretly assessed for his power upon arriving at the palace, revealing he is stronger than his apparent rank suggests. The Archduchess, upon arriving, offers to help with administrative tasks, and it's hinted Ethan's actual escort will be someone else until dinner. Meanwhile, in another location, a descendant of a war hero, also named Ethan, quickly took over the city of Poert and is helping the people, a feat which is relayed to the Archduchess on her journey, highlighting the importance of the alliance between the two Ethans.
