The princess is quite angry over your lack of ability.
She commands you to visit St. Valeria tomorrow,
where you are to offer prayers of repentance.
However...
intel indicates that this individual may have infiltrated Ansullivan.
This former mountain guerrilla terrorist.
Avdocha, She Who Condemns.
St. Valeria once said, "Hate the sin, but love the sinner."
Death to all sinners!
I am Avdocha, She Who Condemns!

Blue Brionac
What's with that smoke?
It's coming from St. Valeria.
No way!
Princess, let us return to the Sylvanus.
Wait! Don't you see that?
The princess might be in there!
Never fear.
We'll make the Magiship Sylvanus our strategic headquarters.
Incoming transmission from St. Valeria Church.
Go ahead.
Long time no see,
Veronica Lautreamont.
I should have known you were behind this,
Avdocha, She Who Condemns.
Huh? Could it be...
It's someone else entirely!
Why did you take over the church?
Are you after my head again?
Yes, and there's more.
Look at this.
Jessica!
Is that...
An Imperial mechanical bomb.
If it goes off, this church will be blown to smithereens.
What's more,
I'm not what you'd call a patient person.
Every time the church bell tolls,
I'm going to kill a hostage.
What?
There's less than an hour until the next bell.
I look forward to having your head.
Your Highness?
I refuse to give in to terrorists.
If necessary, the Sylvanus can blow away the whole church and everyone in it.
You wouldn't!
Don't get worked up, boy.
Stay vigilant!
Who knows what that woman will do?
Yes, ma'am!
Jessica...
Wait.
Who knows what she'll do to you if she finds out that you're Princess Veronica's sister?
But if I reveal who I am and demand that the hostages be released...
I know you want to help, but you must not sacrifice yourself.
Now hear this!
I am Jessica Valentine.
Despite all appearances, I am well-known Lautreamont nobility.
Out of respect for my name,
swear you won't lay a finger on the remaining hostages.
Valentine, you say?
Never heard of 'em. Still, if you insist.
And then, even as they tore her clothes off,
even as they tied her up,
she didn't say a word or shed a tear.
Jessica...
You're a far higher-minded woman than any noble in these parts.
On the other hand, I...
That's Avdocha, She Who Condemns.
If I tell her I'm a fellow Tantalos...
No, I'd better not.
I'll take a wait-and-see approach for now.
I just came looking for my friend.
What have I gotten myself into?
A firefight? Are you serious?!
Calm down, Ash Blake!
Princess Veronica, I have an idea.
Yes? What is it?
I see. Interesting.
Avdocha!
Ash Blake,
we're sending you to the church as a negotiator.
What?
Now hang on!
Why are you sending him somewhere so dangerous?
They have no idea that Ash is capable of Archdragonar-level power.
While he buys us time inside the church,
we Archdragonars will use the underground passage
and break through the church's foundation from below.
I get it.
What do you think, Ash?
Sounds like a plan.
Good. Now for a strategy meeting.
Hey, Eco...
What?
I have a favor to ask. About the next Arch you make for me...
Huh? But I can't-
Sure, you can.
I know you can.
I'm counting on you.
This means triple the crepes.
Sure. But hold the anthar.
Halt!
I'm Ash Blake, and I've been sent here to negotiate.
I seek entry!
Ash!
They sent a brat like you to negotiate?
They must not think much of me.
The Sylvanus has its largest gun aimed right at this church.
The princess will not yield to terrorists.
Silence!
You're not much of a negotiator, are you,
terrifying the hostages like that?
Enough pointless resistance. You don't want to die for nothing!
The truth is...
I'm here looking for my long-lost sister.
I understand Veronica has three sisters of her own.
She should know the sorrow of being torn from her beloved siblings.
This isn't working. She'll never negotiate.
Eco, please! Hurry!
I'm working on it!
I'm working on it, but it's not easy.
Just slap together an original Arch already.
L-Like I'd bother for the likes of him!
He can ride any dragon. It's very mysterious.
He should be riding you too, in your true form.
My true form?
While this human form is your reality,
you are of the dragon race, and Ash Blake's Pal.
It's high time you realized that.
Geez! Be quiet! I can't work!
One day you'll understand.
I have my hands full with this.
He asked me for an Arch that can stop a mechanical bomb.
Ash Blake.
That's his name. I remember now.
Wh-What? You want to nurse?!
But there's nothing in there!
No! No squirming allowed!
What's that racket?
Very well.
This one should be good and hungry too.
It's a bit early, but mother and child will be the first sacrifice.
No!
It can't be!
Wait!
What?! Are you crazy?
Seikoku no Dragonar
Who are you?
I-I am...
I am the fourth princess of the Lautreamont royal knight family,
Silvia Lautreamont!
Oh? Fourth princess, you say?
Out of respect for my name,
release these two at once!
What's she doing?
That fool.
So you must be Veronica's sister.
No! Don't touch her!
Silence!
If you're volunteering your name like that,
you must be ready for what comes next.
I-I am a princess!
I can't just stand by and watch my people be slaughtered!
I... wish to die a knight's death.
That's the spirit!
Princess!
There's your true form.
Just by revealing your nudity, you go back to being a woman.
Gone is the prestige of your knightly name,
along with any point in killing you.
You disappoint me.
"One must do one's utmost, no matter the contest."
That is my family motto.
That's all.
Why are you standing around and chatting here, of all places?
Don't you realize how annoying that is?
What was that?
She's getting carried away just because she's royalty.
Like brother, like sister.
Sorry, Your Highness. It was my fau-
All this horsing around on dragons is out of the question!
Now calm down!
Behave yours-
You've displayed such great ineptitude.
And you count yourself part of the House of Lautreamont?
That's you in a nutshell.
You act pretentious, but really, you're nothing but a little girl.
Never mind your Dragonar ambition.
It's far more appropriate for you to settle down!
I wasn't prepared.
If you don't like it, you'll have to surpass Princess Veronica.
I expect my elder sister to scold me, sure...
but...
I'll carry you, and we'll look for the Mother Dragon together!
I made that boy a promise.
That I'd be a fine, upstanding knight.
I must thank you, Avdocha.
What?
You made me realize how weak and ill-prepared I am.
But the old me is gone. She died when you cut her down.
And now...
I am reborn as a new Silvia Lautreamont!
This I declare.
I will be that most royal knight: a paladin!
Well said, Silvia!
We're under enemy attack!
O ye sure-striking mystic spear...
Its name: Gae Bulg!
O ye lightning-quick mystic brand...
Its name: Caladbolg!
Don't toy with me, brat!
Ash!
Sorry about the wait.
Right on time!
Thanks, Eco.
I didn't do it for you.
Not so fast!
Stop right there!
Unless you want me to push this detonator button!
Nice try!
Manifest now... O ye sacred glacial carbine...
Its name:
Brionac!
W-Wait! I...
Oh my!
I guess those stories are good for something.
The Heavenly Dragonar...
Sir Ash!
Huh?
We meet at last, Sir Silver Knight.
J-Jessica?!
Now to plant your seed in me.
Keep 'em on!
I decided that our first time would be on the church altar.
Liar. You just came up with that now!
Off with your clothes, Sir Ash!
Are you even listening?
Cut that out.
Rebecca!
Off with you.
Are you all right?
My legs have to buckle now, of all times. Pitiful.
Not at all.
You were amazing.
Th-That's preposterous!
Come on.
Don't be shy.
Why is it?
Why do I feel a sense of nostalgia...
when Ash carries me like this?
Panties...
J-Jessica?!
I'm here to form a relationship for our posterity, Sir Ash!
H-How did you get in?!
I'm fully prepared.
Why'd you take off your panties first?!
Oh, I can take off my top too.
That wasn't my point.
D-Didn't you say...
your first time would be on the church altar?
I'm willing to abandon my principles at any time for you, Sir Ash!
No, stick to them!
Please! Spare me!
Sir Ash, I will have your seed this time!
W-Wait! Stop!
Sir Ash, Sir Ash, you're so hot!
No! Not there!
What should we name our child?
Figured as much.
Thought I'd check here since you were gone from the girls' dormitory.
What?!
Jessica's joining the Student Council?!
Yes, because she learned who the Silver Knight really is.
We made her quit as president of the fan club
and had her join our group instead.
Call it leak prevention.
Let's hurry. Princess Veronica is waiting.
I am Avdocha, She Who Condemns.
Wh-What are you doing here?
It was all my elder sister's scheme.
Scheme?
To correct my unworthy sister.
Wait, so you knew?
I wasn't totally sure, though.
As you know,
I was once part of an antigovernment group,
where I failed at assassinating Veronica five years ago.
After that, I surrendered to her and began working as her agent.
That's the shape of it.
Talk about eating humble pie.
B-But you look completely different on your wanted poster.
One of my people made that based on complete hearsay.
The timing was right, so I let it be.
But why would you work for Princess Veronica?
To find my long-lost sister.
Her name is Shamara, and she turns fifteen this year.
So the part about your sister was true.
I can't give up until I find her.
We got to hear this little tidbit, thanks to you.
I will be that most royal knight: a paladin!
S-Stop that!
Ash?
Do you know where the Magiship Sylvanus gets its name?
Where?
Don't the names sound similar?
Sylvanus and Silvia?
I see.
Veronica! Enough already!
That takes some real sisterly love, doesn't it?
Are you making fun of your little sister?
Please, stop laughing and answer me!
During that incident, Princess Veronica mobilized a detached force
and rounded up a bunch of Avdocha-inspired agitators.
All those results from a single action.
I still have a long way to go.
I think you'll be fine.
Huh?
Well, see...
Can you feel the intensity?
cho cho cho cho cho chou eguin ja nai
Our hardcore love in training

Next Time
Sir Ash! Sir Ash! Sir Silver Knight!
Stop it, Jessica! That's a top-secret agreement!
Whatever do you mean? We have no secrets between us.
Are we talking about the same thing?
Now, then, let's get that seed planted!
Next Episode
Lucca Sarlinen
Uh, see you next week!
To make babies?
No!
