I Favor The Villainess Ep

Order of the Academy
Rei, Claire, Misha, together with the three princes became members of the Order of the Academy that's the governing inst.i.tution within the Royal Academy.
Although through the Founding Festival Claire's bond with Rei deepened a little, Claire still had a way to go to acting dere.

Commoners' movement
The campaign called Commoner's movement, advocating for equality of every citizen, spread within the academy.
With the courtyard incident where a certain n.o.ble attacked a commoner, the movement grew fiercer.
Behind that movement was the Naa Empire's spy who instigated Orso older brother and younger sister to work behind the scenes.
Although it was Claire and Rei who prevented the attack on n.o.ble children inside the academy, Orso family faced the crisis of extinction.
As the compensation for resolving the incident Rei and Claire appealed to spare Orso family's lives, despite Prime Minister Salas Lilium's opposition the king granted their wish, and Orso family was banished from the country.
Claire experienced a painful farewell with Lene, but she opened her heart to Rei just a little.

Love scales
Sousa's Kingdom's First Princess Manaria Sousa arrived as an exchange student.
She's Claire's first love, and she tried creating a rift between Claire and Rei.
Manaria denied Rei's notion of "I don't mind being only a maid as long as Claire is happy".
Claire and Rei suffered a crisis due to a trivial misunderstanding, but through a rematch with Manaria using the love scales, the distance between two closed in quickly.
Claire began showing dere to Rei, and Rei began honestly thinking of wanting Claire to become her partner.

Holidays
During the holidays, the two decided to return to the port town Euclid that's Rei's hometown and where Claire's summer villa is.
Rei invited Claire, who was dispirited after her father Dor preached how an ideal n.o.ble should be, to her home.
Rei was welcomed in her home town.
Among those doing it was an adventurer Louis who had fallen in love with Rei.
Claire felt hazy.
Being warmly welcome in Rei's home, Claire witnessed the difference between lives of n.o.bles and commoners first-hand.
The two of them tried enjoying their holidays, but a ghost s.h.i.+p appeared off the Euclid's coast, blocking off the outside world with magical fog.
To solve the situation, a ghost s.h.i.+p a.s.sault team was organized, Claire and Rei also partic.i.p.ated.
The mastermind behind the ghost s.h.i.+p was Louis, whose mother's life was taken hostage.
Wis.h.i.+ng to eliminate the tragedies brought about by poverty, Claire tackled the poverty issue of commoners.
Rei wanted to support such Claire.

Church
Although Claire began tackling the poverty issue of commoners, the clues were considerably hard to find.
To discover the workings of the Spirit Church that extends a helping hand to commoners, Rei and Claire visited the cathedral.
There the two of them met Cardinal Lily.
She's h.o.m.os.e.xual just like Rei, and by a strange coincidence fell for her.
When the three of them talked about love, Rei's past became clear.
To return the favor of being taught the workings of the Church, Claire and Rei decided to partic.i.p.ate in the Oferring Dance.
In addition, the truth that Yuu was a woman was revealed.
Rei began acting so that Yuu can live true to herself, and so that her close friend's, Misha's, love is fulfilled.
Although Rei succeeded in having Yuu declare she's a woman during the Offering Dance performance, she was accused of being responsible and arrested.
Bauer's King Rousseau took her out of the jail and announced she'd be deprived of her members.h.i.+p in the Royal Academy and given a duty of the King's special official.
