Recap of Episode 18: “Damuel’s Proposal”
Episode 18, titled “Damuel’s Proposal” (ダームエルの申し出), aired on August 15, 2026. The episode centered around the Star-Binding Ceremony, an important event in the noble calendar. Archduke Sylvester proposed that Ferdinand officially return to secular life and become Rozemyne‘s formal guardian.
During the ceremony’s banquet, where unmarried nobles look for marriage partners, Brigitte appeared in a new outfit. As planned by Rozemyne, she caught the attention of many noblemen. However, the situation took a turn when Hasheit, Brigitte’s former fiancé, appeared and proposed to her again. The episode left viewers wondering what action Damuel would take to protect Brigitte from this unexpected proposal.
The episode also explored the growing complexities of noble society and the challenges Rozemyne faces as she tries to balance her duties with her personal goals. The Star-Binding Ceremony served as a backdrop for political maneuvering and personal drama, highlighting the precarious position of those caught between duty and desire.

Episode 19 is titled “Inspection of Illgner and Summer Harvest” (イルクナー視察と夏の採集). According to the official synopsis, Rozemyne and her group visit Illgner, Brigitte’s hometown, to inspect the paper-making process. During their stay, they interact with the villagers and collect magical trees used as raw materials for paper.
The episode will also show a different side of Brigitte as she is surrounded by her hometown people, which may spark new feelings in Damuel. Upon returning from Illgner, the group will prepare for the summer material gathering. Rozemyne will head to the Lohenberg mountain, which holds a large amount of mana, in search of the eggs of the Leidschaft bird, a creature that soothes the anger of the fire god.
