Episode 13: Outbreak of War
The next two episodes may or may not be written up as usual each week as there is a scheduling confusion. One network will be doing reruns for the next two weeks while the remaining two networks may/will continue to air episodes as normal.
Recap from last time:
The group visit the capital city of the Mulkuth Empire and hold an audience with His Majesty, Emperor Peony. Luke and company travel to St. Binah to evacuate all citizens, but begins to collapse towards Quilopth.

Episode thoughts:
War has broke out, and like the characters in this episode, we all know this is both Van's and Mohs' bidding. For Natalia's sake, I didn't notice it until it was revealed in this episode that, yes, all of those in the royal line always have red and/or black hair. So, here's what I'm thinking: Natalia has blond hair. Guy has blond hair. Guy's from Mulkuth. Natalia was born in Kimlasca. So, Natalia's biological mother may be from Mulkuth? Mohs did reveal in Kaitzur that there was someone who wanted to replace the princess with one of his own blood. So, is Natalia's biological mother an agent for the Mulkuth Empire? I sure wouldn't know, but that's just my thought on this matter.
Next episode, Sealed Past, we learn - from what the preview shows - the past of Natalia and Guy. Huh? Perhaps they're brother and sister? Who knows! Half-way through this series, whoo!
The group visit the capital city of the Mulkuth Empire and hold an audience with His Majesty, Emperor Peony. Luke and company travel to St. Binah to evacuate all citizens, but begins to collapse towards Quilopth.
Key plot points:
- The airship overhead is an experimental aircraft designed by the Mulkuth and has been specially requested by Peony to aid Luke, Jade and company.
- As St. Binah falls towards Quilopth, Luke and company manages to rescue all citizens by boarding the airship and return back to the Outer Lands.
- As they hover overland, the group witnesses a battle between Kimlasca and Mulkuth military. Natalia proposes the group split up and go either the Kimlasca-held Naval Port Kaitzur or the Mulkuth's Grand Chokmah and request a truce in this war. Luke, Natalia, Tear and Guy head toward the Kimlasca side while Jade, Ion, and Anise head toward the Mulkuth side.
- For either side it does not go well. In the Kimlasca side, Mohs accuses Luke and Natalia as traitors to the state and the entire group to be arrested and brought back to "The City of Light", Baticul. In the Mulkuth side, for Peony to call a truce to this war the Kimlascan military must withdraw first.
- Upon their return to Baticul, Luke and Natalia are held in Natalia's chamber while Tear and Guy are held in a prison cell; the latter of the two are freed by Asch, the former of the two freed from the latter.
- We find out that Natalia is not of royal blood, in fact she was raised into the royal family. The Queen's nanny switched the infants with one from her daughter's because the true Natalia was stillborn. Her real name, if this were not to happen, would have been Meryl.
- With Asch's help once again who keeps Largo and Dist busy, Luke, Natalia, Tear and Guy escape the castle and decide to leave Baticul at once. With the aid of fellow Baticulian citizens, they protect Natalia from the Oracle Knights.
