Kufa is sent to assess the abilities of the House of Angel's heir, whose lack of mana calls her lineage into question — but Merida is nothing like Kufa expected her to be.

Melida and Elise look forward to the Circlet Night festival, but a kidnapping interrupts their celebration. Now Melida must undergo a trial by fire and prove herself.

The Luna Lumiere Selection Tournament is poised to begin, but the students of St. Friedeswiede are in for a shock when this year's unexpected Cadets are revealed.

When the students gather for a secret party, Melida and her friends spend their time making merry and telling ghost stories, unaware that some tales are very real.

Suspicion falls on Kufa as the attacks continue. To clear his name, Melida teams up with an unlikely ally, but their findings are far more gruesome than they dared imagine.

The suspicion regarding Melida's mana reaches critical mass. Worried how the scandal could stain their prestige, Flandore's nobles vow to take matters into their own hands.

Melida doesn't answer to the prejudiced nobles who have put her on trial. She will show the world once and for all that she is the rightful heir of the House of Angel.
