A man accuses a woman named Lira of forging a contract to sell her missing brother, ordering the General to arrest her. Lira proves the contract is fake by pointing out it uses ink invented after its date. Her friend, a Princess, reacts in shock as Lira declares framing a war orphan’s daughter is a capital crime. The defeated Princess vows revenge while Lira privately celebrates the General’s protection, before agreeing to compete in a tournament to grow stronger and find her brother.
