Princess Lily witnesses a newborn Class-E tiger beast, rumored to be Loka, one of the Five Great Demon Beasts tortured by nobles and rival to the Class-SSS Nightmare. Granny explains that nobles exploit tiger beast blood as a universal cure for their contract beasts, causing many tiger beasts to suffer and die by their own hand. Meanwhile, a harsh handler verbally abuses a beast, fueling thoughts of rebellion. Lily suspects the royal castle is behind the discovery of tiger beast blood’s healing power, possibly linked to Bella, but before she can investigate further, someone angrily silences her, leaving the mystery unresolved.
