I’m not kidding, I summarized the whole thing. . . . . . . . . . . . That f*cking b*tch Freya went down and told Izek what happened. Obviously Izek already knows everything about how messed up her brother is, he’s known it since the stable scene with the riding crop without Ruby having to explain. The only reason this arc is so dramatic is because the plot restricted his movement, made him play nice, and forced him out of the picture via the tournament. Also Ruby doesn’t know how much he’s guessed. He asked the others to keep an eye on her but they don’t really understand that they’re seeing isn’t the truth. Until now obviously. The story should really be “How to get everyone who isn’t my husband on my side.” From this point things happen fast. Izek wins the tournament but Ruby is on the edge of her seat during the battle because he takes a lot of damage in the process. The priests played dirty and made the fight needlessly difficult by bringing in the revenant of a cardinal. He gives Ruby the crown afterwards. It’s very sweet. It’s at this point where she realizes she really and truly does love him. Izek goes to find he after but none of them can find her…(hmm I wonder why, foul play?). Knowing they won’t be interrupted, Cezare takes her to a mirror room in the castle to tell her he’s taking her back to Romagna. She drops her act and talks back this time, revealing her true thoughts. He grabs her but she keeps talking. She tells him she hates him and that she truly loves Izek and her new home. The violence continues and he eventually slams her back against the mirrored wall. It shatters. She gets injured but keeps going. Their location is eventually discovered via Lorenzo (Freya’s brother). Izek arrives and immediately attacks Cezare but he has this Holy shield to counter his holy sword and they fight until someone arrives to break them up. Cesare manages to escape in the ensuing chaos and makes it to a departing ship. They can’t go after him because monsters attack the capital in swarms as part of a plot devised by Cesare—his henchman used magic stones to draw them in droves. The frost dragon eventually arrives and attacks the city. Izek goes against orders to meet it and insists they subdue it without killing it because Ruby wouldn’t want that (everyone else think’s he’s insane). Once she wakes up, Ruby learns what happened after she passed out in the mirror room. Ruby knows she’s the only one who can stop the dragon, so she gets up after being treated and has Ellen and Andymion take her to it. She and her other monster friends manage to calm down the dragon and thus Izek gets rescued from Ruby’s lizard boyfriend. Afterwards, there’s a wonderfully soft live scene between Ruby and Izek in which they properly confess and talk. The rest is clean-up. Cezare get’s his punishment in another arc because no, this isn’t the end. ****I reread the novel last month, but my memory isn’t totally perfect, so one or two things might be a little off and/or the manhwa might change things (eg. there are more paladins in the novel, so roles often get redistributed)
