At the coronation, a new Emperor prepares to ascend Westland's throne while his family—empress, prince and princess—stand by. He had spoken of three wishes and passing them to his son, then refused to use the final wish to regain freedom. Celebration erupts, but outside officials accuse the imperial party of colluding with rebels, citing shouts like Father Emperor and Crown Prince as treason. Guards are ordered to seize them and execute the entire family, abruptly turning triumph into imminent peril. The episode ends with soldiers closing in and the family's fate hanging unresolved.
