Summary[]
The Urbanus joins back up with the Silvana in the Grand Stream.
At the Guild Fortress, Dio Eraclea begins the Rite of the Covenant. Maestro Delphine Eraclea doesn't stay to watch, caring only about the result of the trial; she brings Claus Valca and Alvis E. Hamilton onto her personal Guild battleship and flies out to Exile. Exile's defense systems recognize Al and don't attack the Maestro's ship. Delphine reveals the true nature of Exile to Claus: it is the colony ship that originally brought humans to Prester.
At Horizon Cave, the Alliance musketeers prepare for the Claudia Unit Capture Operation.
On the Silvana, Lavie Head finishes repairs on her and Claus's vanship.
Maestro Delphine has Alexander Row brought to the bridge of her flagship, crucified and wrapped in rose vines. The roses' thorns contain a truth serum which forces Alex to answer Delphine's questions. She makes him recite the Mysteria of House Dagobert and House Hamilton, eliciting a reaction from Exile. When she demands the Mysterion of House Bassianus, however, Alex reveals that he gave it to Sophia Forrester without reading it himself. Delphine angrily issues orders for Sophia to be captured and brought to her.
A transmission informs Delphine that Dio has won the Trial of Agoon and claimed the Sword of the Covenant. Unable to proceed with the capture of Exile without the third Mysterion, Delphine orders her flagship back to the Guild Fortress so she can congratulate him.
Synopsis[]
After the “Urbanus” locates the “Silvana” and ensures its safety, Sophia returns and is surprised that Claus has been taken. Covenant Day arrives, and Dio takes part in the Trial of Agoon to claim inheritance of the Maestro’s position by participating in mortal combat against other Guild members. Claus, who cannot bear to see Dio fight, worries that he may die. At the same time, the operation to capture Guild Claudia units commences at Horizon Cave. On the “Silvana”, Lavie finally completes the repairs of her and Claus’s vanship. Delphine takes Alvis and Claus to the location of “Exile”, where they find its defense system has begun attacking Guild ships as well. “Exile” attacks Delphine’s ship but stops when it senses Alvis’s presence. Delphine reveals that “Exile” is a generation ship and colony ship used by those who first settled on their world. Alex, who has been injected with a truth drug-serum, recites the Mysteria, and Alvis responds to each one. However, he reveals that he has not read the final Mysterion before entrusting it to Sophia. Delphine then receives word that Dio is the Trial’s victor.
