Wasteland Phoenix - Episódio 7

Ayla confronts a man named Rene, questioning why his wealthy northern realm hides its vast treasure and acts like impoverished barbarians. Rene reveals he fell in love with her through a portrait and has secretly protected her, pledging his sword and authority to her. His companion later urges him to reveal his true identity as a powerful king, but Rene insists it is not yet time, wanting to stay as a wasteland lord because Ayla loves the north's purity. Meanwhile, a servant gives Ayla a special ointment, ominously preparing her for a challenging night ahead.
