The chapter begins with a series of seemingly unrelated text snippets, before transitioning to Euceniel contemplating the new Emperor, Tess, who is her childhood friend, but appears completely different with black hair and eyes, a departure from his blonde hair and blue eyes. Euceniel is bewildered by this transformation, noting the lack of magic and the impossibility of such changes. Tess shows a possessive and changed personality, confessing that his new look is because black hair and eyes are her ideal type, further confusing Euceniel and deepening the mystery of his transformation.
