It's there that Leon learns of some news that disturbs him.

Summary


The crowd in the audience cheer for Julius to beat the country hick, Leon and the referee starts the duel. Immediately, Julius goes on the offensive against Leon who defends against each attack and notes that his opponent has the best possible armor on his mech. He's then annoyed by Luxion's comment about his opinion about the audience's thoughts on Leon, which alludes to it sharing the same notions as them.



As the duel continues, Leon taunts Julius about his and his entourage's affection for Marie. This leads to a debate on Angelica's feelings for Julius, however, Julius still favors Marie whom he thinks actually understands him and notes his disdain for being born into royalty. Leon then goes on a diatribe about his past misfortunes that he's faced thus far. As it so happens, some boys in the crowd relate to Leon's speech and Julius doubles down on his love and conviction for Marie, as Angelica tearfully listens to it. Olivia then chimes in and spoke in favor of Angelica's love for the Prince. On the other hand, Julius remains obstinate and refuses to allow himself to be in the presence of Angelica ever again. Julius then says that the duel will end until one of them dies and Leon thankful for that proposition accepts it and taunts him to order him to lose on purpose. However, Julius refuses as it's a sacred duel they're in, so Leon further taunts him, earning the disdain of the audience again. Luxion then notes that Leon played the villain on purpose, which Leon confirms he did to make Julius see the light and how he also enjoyed the act as well. In a blazing rage, Julius tries to attack Leon, but ends up in his grasp and who then tries to have a man-to-man talk with him about the consequences if he chooses Marie over Angelica. On the other hand, Julius cares for no nobility or status, just Marie. Thus Leon KOs him with an Impact attack and he officially wins the duel. Exiting his mech, Leon is met by Olivia and Angelica who leaves to see the Prince and Olivia warns him that the students there all loath him for his actions. Unfazed by his fellow peers' opinions of him, Leon claims he'll probably transfer out of the school eventually.



Elsewhere, Angelica visits the bedridden Julius and the two have a heart-to-heart about their unrequited relationship. In the end, it becomes clear that Julius only cares for Marie and no one else, hearing that Angelica leaves the Prince's side, but wishes the best for the two. Meanwhile, Leon meets with Angelica's Father Vince and older brother Gilbert to have the "mess" he created to be cleaned up by them. Vince accepts this proposal and Leon claims that he'll renounce his title as Knight and decline the offer of Barony as well. When asked by Gilbert about his motives for helping Angelica, Leon answers that he did it for the "kingdom", which is far from the truth he did it all for. The answer amuses Vince who then requests that Angelica stay in the countryside for a while. Walking down a hallway, Leon is overall satisfied with the results of his actions; although his only regrets were that he couldn't learn about tea from Master, Daniel, and Raymond. Furthermore, he laments not trying all of the academy's desserts in the cafeteria.



Some time passes by and Olivia and Angelica ride on Leon's ship back to his home in the countryside. Angelica laments over her actions resulting in Leon being expelled from the academy. Olivia, however, tries to reassure her that Leon intended to eventually leave the academy on his own accord, but still, it doesn't placate her bitter emotions and regret about Leon's actions. Hidden out of sight, Leon and Luxion are shown to have been eavesdropping on the conversation as well. At the, Bartfort Household, Luce informs Balcus about the preparations being made for the Duke's daughter. Zola along with her children enter the scene and Zola smacks and reprimands Balcus for his son's recent actions. However, she's left distraught over the appearance of Angelica who she didn't recognize. Angelica then informs Zola about her staying there and with that Zola leaves. Afterward, Leon shows Olivia and Angelica the surrounding land, the two ladies then bathe together and have a bit of a heart-to-heart about Olivia's relationship with Leon. Later, Leon meets with the two as they bond together and Olivia asks to be called Livia and Angelica to be called Angie from now on. The matter of getting revenge against Marie is also brought up and Leon is all for it and Livia offers to help Angie with her revenge endeavor as well.



Marie learns from Julius that he and his entourage have all been disinherited of their titles and statuses. While Julius is unable to be by Marie's side anymore, his entourage vows to protect Marie and get revenge against Leon. Marie, on the other hand, is completely distraught by this outcome and that her plans for an easy royal life have been completely shattered. Leon and Balcus meet with a royal messenger that informs them that no repercussions will be had against Leon or his family, instead, Leon's Rank will be raised to the Upper Sixth. Leon would eventually receive this title from the king and queen, this would also force him to stay at the Holfort academy as well. Luxion also informs Leon of Julius and his companions' adventures into the dungeon to earn money and train to defeat him. Livia and Angie then approach him and ask that he follow them to a new crepe store that they found.
