Summary
Although met with disdain by Runa and Sora's rejection toward him, the Pompous Noble only declares his love and desire for them even more. Rein then steps in and demands to know the name of the Pompous Noble, who introduces himself as the Lord of Horizon's son Edgar Fromware. Despite the fairy twins rejecting Edgar's demand, Edgar surrounds the group with his soldiers and asks again if they will agree to his offer, which Rein again rejects on their behalf. Hence, Edgar orders his soldiers to attack him, but Rein promptly defeats them. Backed into a corner, Edgar orders the remainder of his soldiers to hold the surrounding people as hostages. Disgusted by how Edgar views his subjects, Rein awakens his Fairy Magic capabilities and rescues the hostages using a multi-cast fireball spell on the soldiers. This forces Edgar to flee the scene in shame and makes Rein's group be met with praise. However, one lady in the crowd warns them that they should leave Horizon for their safety as a cloaked individual watches them from afar.

Later, at the inn, Runa and Sora relay what had happened earlier to Kanade and Tania. It's speculated that Rein's magical control had dramatically improved by forming a contract with the twins. Their conversation then changes to Edgar's shady background involving him kidnapping and torturing women for his amusement. Edgar apparently gets away with his dirty deeds, thanks to his father's influence as Horizon's Lord. While the Knights have investigated the accusations against Edgar, they've sadly found no evidence of any crimes committed. After deliberating over what to do, it's ultimately decided that Rein and his party will defeat Edgar and save the city. That night, at the Fromware manor, Edgar talks with his father, and after he excuses himself, Edgar pays his knight Gilet to take care of Rein. Once he's gone, Edgar summons a slave servant of his and proceeds to beat her for not meeting his outlandish expectations.

The following day, Rein and Kanade visit the Order of Knights HQ, to file a formal complaint against Edgar. However, the complaint was formally rejected as the complaint was already reported as a minor scuffle and would not be investigated further. Rein would later opine the knights are in cahoots with Edgar. They're then approached by the Vice-captain knight named Stella, who requests their help to bring down Edgar. Trusting in Kanade's judgment about her opinion of Stella, Rein agrees to help her while also "cleaning out" the corruption within the Knights of Order.

To catch the corrupt Knights in a trap, Stella enlists help from some trusted knights in her division, and Rein gets his new gauntlet from Gantz. By nightfall, a trap is laid at a warehouse rumored to have incriminating evidence against Edgar, and thus the corrupt Knights of Order are sent to investigate. Once they enter the warehouse, the entrance is sealed off, and the knights, aside from Gilet, are knocked out. Facing off against her superior, Stella tearfully defeats Gilet in one-on-one combat.

Meanwhile, at Fromware manor, Edgar receives news of Gilet's arrest and takes out his frustration onto his slave servant. The cloaked individual then visits him, who's revealed to be Arios incognito. Arios explains that Rein is a Beast Tamer who managed to tame multiple Ultimate Species to Edgar. He then gives him a cursed ring, under the pretense, it's a magical item that brings death to its target.
