Unseen Intentions Rose’s escape makes her appear guilty, which has dire consequences for inter-kingdom politics. Alexia decides to find and protect her, but Beta stalls her from interfering as she already knows Rose is hiding in the underground ruins. Cid meets an elf named Beatrix who is searching for her missing niece, and happens to greatly resemble Alpha. As Mundane, Cid faces Goldy for his first duel, watched by Annerose and Quinton who are both suspicious of Mundane’s abilities. To their great confusion Mundane dodges Goldy’s first attack by flexing his neck, and then causes Goldy’s own attack magic to explode backwards by sneezing, knocking Goldy unconscious. Despite his unusual methods Annerose doubts even she could copy Mundane’s movements. While meeting with Perv Asshat Iris discovers Rose didn’t injure him at all and he has a sinister influence over Rose's father the King. Mundane defeats Quinton, making Annerose his opponent the next day. Annerose attempts to intimidate him, until Mundane reveals he wears armour weighing over a ton and yet still moves too fast for people to follow his true movements. Rose continues to avoid the soldiers sent after her.
