Narrator: Threatened by a ruthless demon, humanity was on the brink of destruction. All seemed lost until a lone mage stepped forward and took up the fight. This hero's name... was Lumiere Silvamillion Clover. After his triumph, he was eventually hailed as the very first Wizard King, and his story became legend.

(Nean Village... A Few Hours Ago.)

Theresa: Back to the Capital, you say?

Mage: Yes. And I know you're still rebuilding in Nean, while I don't wish to impede your progress any further given young Marie just came back but... some complications have come up. And I... have this official order from the Magic Parliament requesting her at once.

Theresa Rapual was certainly confused to say the least. After everything that happened over the night and the Black Bulls and reluctantly Gauche returned Marie back to the church, here was an official mage representing the all mighty Magic Parliament demanding Marie's presence.

Theresa: Well it appears to be real, but... I don't know.

Mage: I get your apprehension but please, it's nothing too serious. We just want to get little Marie's recounting of the events. It should take no more than a few hours, Sister. And we'll make sure she gets there safely, if that assuages your nerves.

Theresa: It's most mysterious. Marie just returned from battle a few hours ago and she's summoned back to the Royal Capital? I cannot even begin to fathom what the Magic Parliament would want with her, a child that age.

Suddenly, Rebecca Scarlett had emerged from her home, a letter in hand as she rushed the nun and the atoning criminal Neige.

Theresa: Rebecca? What can I trouble you for, young lady?

Rebecca: There's massive trouble! Have you looked at today's paper, Sister?

Theresa: Oh? Now that you mention it, it skipped my mind.

(Hage Village.)

Father Orsi: Is that today's paper?! NO! Look you all, feast your eyes on what they said about our poor Asta!

He shows them a headshot of Asta and whoever did his photo must've seriously wanted a raise. They caught him in all of his Black Asta glory in the moment he saved Marie from Damnatio's wrath and this caused a fit of giggles to erupt from Asta's younger foster siblings Recca and Nash. While he stormed off, Lily read the headline over Asta's mugshot.

Sister Lily: "Rebelling Against Clover Kingdom.. A Devil in Our Midst?"?!

Father Orsi: Blasphemous! LIES, I SAY! THEY'RE BADGERING POOR ASTA'S NAME!

(Clover Kingdom...)

Opposite of what spread across the faces of the people in Hage and Nean.... Revchi and Gueldre were celebrating, reveling in the fact that the person responsible for putting them in chains so long ago had himself been subjected to the humiliation of being arrested.

Gueldre: Hahaha! Good, that little punk is getting what he deserves! It came a little later than what I would've preferred but no time like the present day!

Revchi: HE'S SUCH A LOSER, AHAHAHAHAHA!

Sally, on her Sticky Salamander enjoys the prospect of "working" next to Asta.... and by working, we mean dissecting him.
