ebony and gillian celebrate gillian claiming her rightful inheritance, we have a nice little break with ebony further learning horse riding and finding a nice little surprise from the maids decorating her horse riding outfit with flowers. c:
Sedell is growing increasingly frustrated and clues in that she must either be ebony or be from the lady prison ebony was housed in so he sends one of the awful wardens round to the archduke's to harass and intimidate her.
We get more uncovered info about what living in the prison was like, a further look at ebony's relationship with her master and I think the build up to her master's death.
Ebony returns to the prison to claim her masters remains, as she returns the surviving women prisoners spot her and whistle to her in unison, overjoyed that she's alright and falling to their knees. Ebony responds with a whistle herself surprising the archduke and catching the attention of the assholes in charge of the prison.
They basically bulldozed their way into the prison even as the wardens tried to belittle and demean ebony. They leave with her master and hold her funeral soon after, Patricia attends and buries a precious momento in her grave site with ebony.
After this, it seems as though they're trying to further disrupt the nobles and their patriarchy, as well as free ebony from false charges. They move to challenge the judgement the countries legal system handed down on ebony. So the next chapters build up to her going back to court with Juro representing her. He's finally seen that what she was put through was unjust and that the legal system of this country is beyond just or perfect.
He represents her in court by going over the case with how both her fiance and father died, her family history, the reality of how a woman as small as her couldn't purposefully overpower a man as big as her fiance, etc.
The most recent chapter has Martha storming into the court room with guards and her magic on full blast as it seems Juro and ebony have stalled with fighting their case.
Also Martha, butler man, Mr Cook and doctor are all awesome and we get more sweet moments with her and the archduke.
