A Boy and the King of Beasts The assassins who shot at Bennu are interrogated, but they claim that they only fired instinctively at a human and kill themselves. A human man attacks the guards while demanding Leonhart before being overpowered and locked in the dungeons. He swears revenge on the beasts for killing Sariphi, only to be relieved when he sees her alive. She explains that he is her childhood friend Ilya who hates beasts for attacking his village and swore to protect her. She convinces Leonhart to release him and send him home, but shortly after he is released, he faints from hunger. They put him in a guest room, but when Sariphi and Amit bring food, he insults Amit for being a beast and asks Sariphi to come with him, angered when she refuses because she will marry Leonhart. After comforting Amit, Sariphi brings Ilya more food. He tries to convince her that a beast like Leonhart could not possibly love her, but when she still refuses to leave, he knocks her out and carries her off. Anubis, who wanted Sariphi gone, claims that she went with him willingly, but Amit reminds Leonhart of how hard she worked to prove herself worthy. Leonhart leaves Jormungand in charge while he uses Gwiber to pursue them.
