The episode introduces Elizabeth Leiston, who after being betrayed by her fiancé the crown prince, vows to destroy her homeland using magical grimoires.

The animation is decent, and the show offers an enjoyable time for genre fans.","whyItMatters":"The review indicates that the premiere succeeds in establishing a compelling vengeful protagonist but relies on familiar genre conventions.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe review notes that Elizabeth\u0026#39;s relationship with her maid Mireille is the most important relationship in the premiere, despite the class power imbalance. The reviewer praises the mutual respect between them and hopes Mireille\u0026#39;s status may be elevated. The episode follows the typical villainess setup with a ballroom scene and a conniving mistress, which the reviewer finds familiar but necessary to reach the vengeance. Elizabeth\u0026#39;s level-headed attitude is highlighted as refreshing, as she viewed her engagement as political and found joy in serving her subjects. The reviewer criticizes Elizabeth\u0026#39;s anger toward commoners, calling it unnecessary.
