Burning the midnight oil to come up with a way to get Arnold to go along with an alliance with Coyolles, a fatigued and frustrated Rishe takes a break out on the balcony, and is treated to a wondrous sight: a cloud of glowing fireflies. Right then and there, my mind went to fireworks, or the peaceful application of Michel’s black powder.
Arnold is also drawn outside to his neighboring balcony, and Rishe jumps across to be with him. He instinctively reaches out to catch her even though she could easily leap the distance. He also came outside with sword in hand, thinking at first they were the torches of a battlefield in the streets below. When Rishe compliments his deep blue eyes, he tells her he once wanted to gouge them out since they were the same as his father’s.
Arnold believes it’s the nature of his blood that he should look upon the peaceful sleeping capital with revulsion, but Rishe tells him it’s not nature, but one’s amassed experiences that color their perspective, and that means he can learn her perspective that sees the beauty in his capital, and his country.
When he tells her he’ll “discard” her if it becomes necessary, she sprinkles a little truth in her response, saying she’ll become a maid, a knight, or an herbalist; anything to slip back into the palace and return to his side. However much he may hate his eyes, she’ll always believe they’re the most beautiful.
After days of planning, Prince Kyle finally gets his audience with Prince Kyle, who is short on patience. Rishe is wearing all new jewelry, showing off the technological skill and and artistic talent Coyolles has to offer. Then she presents him with the watch he gave her, only for him to notice it’s a very good reproduction, also created by Coyolles artisans.
The technology used to so perfectly copy his watch could one day expand to machines that could create a new world: carriages without horses and ships without sails. To all of this optimistic pablum, Arnold basically says “Okay, sure … AND?”, as he believes all of the things Kyle wants to provide can simply be taken by military force.
That’s when Kyle says he attempted this second negotiation because Rishe told him it was impossible that Prince Arnold wouldn’t want to attain “the power to make the future a more wonderful place”. Like Rishe, Kyle can also see the kindness hiding behind the scowls and threats. They don’t trust his looks, but his actions to make Galkhein a better place.
Unfortunately, these delicate negotiations, for which rhetorical points and timing are so important, is interrupted by Prince Theodore, who urges Rishe to come with him. Throughout this meeting, his men have been tailing Professor Michel to keep him away from Arnold, but he’s given them the slip, in some cases by using what amounts to sleeping poitions.
When they finally do track him down, he’s in the courtyard of the palace, ready to make an impromptu demonstration of his black powder to Prince Arnold. Now Rishe must pivot to dealing with both of her twin dilemmas at once: convincing Arnold to embrace Coyolles as an ally rather than invade, and show Michel and Arnold the peaceful application of black powder: the aforementioned fireworks inspired by the fireflies.
