Detailed Recap of Episode 7
Episode 7, which aired on August 19, 2026, was a major turning point for the series. It answered a big question that fans have had for a long time.
The episode showed Leon accepting the role of commander for the kingdom’s army to fight against the Principality. He met with Queen Mylene to plan the retrieval of a royal ship. Their discussions had some romantic tension. Leon’s father also took action. He caught and killed the servant who had falsely accused Leon of treason. He also learned about his wife’s unfaithfulness and decided to cut ties with her and her other children.
The biggest moment came at the end of the episode. Leon and Marie started talking about their past lives. They realized they are actually siblings who were reincarnated into this world. Marie is Leon’s sister from his previous life. This explains a lot about their connection.
Leon did not react with joy. He was surprised and angry. He hit Marie with a paper fan. The episode ended suddenly after this moment.

The episode will also focus on Olivia’s storyline. She has been struggling with her insecurities, but she might have the key to winning the battle. The war arc is becoming more important as the season progresses.
