Even in light of the chaos caused by the coup d'état, Lawrence and Eve decide to continue with their plan. While Eve goes to reserve a ship, Lawrence leaves Holo with the traders and receives the gold according to the deal. However, when he meets with Eve in the inn, Lawrence decides to pull out. Eve threatens to murder him, since he discovered Eve had a cunning plan involving the Church to earn a huge amount of money. Eve knocks him out, but leaves him a deed to an inn, which he then uses to buy back Holo. In the face of Holo's apparent fury, Lawrence declares his decision to forgo his dream and keep traveling with Holo as well as stating his affection for her. After this, Holo hints at the fact that she may have fallen for or is falling for Lawrence. They then proceed to the dock in the midst of all the chaos and prepare to board, ready to start anew together.
