Recap of Episode 11
The eleventh episode began with a dialogue between Queen Mailen and Princess Lilith, focusing on Kenichi. The scene then shifted as Kenichi conversed with Anemone, attempting to uncover details regarding her origin linked to the previous owner of the High Protection grimoire. Anemone’s attempt to cast a spell proved unsuccessful due to her sudden health issue, with Primula supporting her through this moment.
With Mallow’s arrival, Kenichi sought his blessing to marry Primula. The dynamic shifted further as other allies joined the fray against Thogalum, including Norspaul, who came to terms with Primula’s changed relationship. The episode concluded with a battle resulting in Thogalum’s defeat, while an ominous hint was dropped about Primula’s kidnapping, leading to Kenichi receiving a royal summons.
What to Anticipate in Episode 12
As we step into Episode 12, expect Kenichi and his companions to find themselves in the vicinity of the royal capital. A reflective monologue from Kenichi will likely precede his vital meeting with the king, where both Queen Mailen and Princess Lilith may play significant roles. The chapter is anticipated to culminate in a royal request, potentially paving the way for narratives in a future season.
