Episode Title:
The False Princess.
Episode Description:
Vivi and Zuita rescue Toru and the three of them agree to work together to find the others and escape the Soara. Elsewhere, Layla leads Chaika to a room where she reveals that she knows who Chaika is. As they search the fortress, Toru, Vivi and Zuita learn the horrible truth of what happened to the girls captured by the Duke's men: they were all tortured by Ricardo (to sate his sadistic tendencies), and Grad is using their painful memories as magic fuel for the Soara. Meanwhile, Layla reveals that she too is a Chaika (Blue Chaika) and tells Chaika Trabant the terrible truth that neither she or any of the other Chaikas are the real Chaika Gaz. The Chaikas were created and implanted with false memories of being Arthur's daughter. Each girl was given a different personality and skills, and above all, the overriding need to gather Arthur's remains. Chaika refuses to believe Layla, who then says that after she learned the truth, she chose to follow her own path and has aided Ricardo in restarting a war to avenge herself against those who would have used her. Fredrika arrives to rescue Chaika only to be killed by one of Grad's abominations. Elsewhere, Alberic tries to convince the captain of the Council Forces to delay his attack so that his comrades can escape but when he refuses to do so, Alberic threatens his life. Cornered by a mind-controlled Akari and the Duke's men, Vivi and Zuita try to hold them off while Toru goes to rescue Chaika.
