ASSASSINS PRIDE

Kufa is sent to assess the abilities of the House of Angels heir, whose lack of mana calls her lineage into question — but Merida is nothing like Kufa expected her to be.

Melida and Elise look forward to the Circlet Night festival, but a kidnapping interrupts their celebration. Now Melida must undergo a trial by fire and prove herself.

The tournament will proceed despite the danger posed by Black Madia. As the Cadets prepare for their inevitable battle, Melida cant help but dwell on Elises troubled words.

Suspicion falls on Kufa as the attacks continue. To clear his name, Melida teams up with an unlikely ally, but their findings are far more gruesome than they dared imagine.

The suspicion regarding Melidas mana reaches critical mass. Worried how the scandal could stain their prestige, Flandores nobles vow to take matters into their own hands.
