Seth ambushes someone, demanding to know if they're married; he won't leave and threatens, "One day, I'll have you on your knees begging." At the manor, a lord reveals Wilma stole an important map but framed Harold - he lets the lie stand because it suits them. An urgent courier arrives: the emperor plans to abolish the fiefs and has massed 100,000 troops in Cheville, threatening the lord's family. Commanders order an immediate return to prepare. The episode ends with Seth pressing again: "Do you have someone you like?" - the question hangs unanswered.
