Marina MakiDeko AkaoChihiro KumanoApril 9, 2024 (2024-04-09)
Prince Oscar of Farsas and his assistant Lazar sneak out of the castle and go to an azure tower in the middle of nowhere. Their mission: to meet the Witch of the Azure Moon, who grants a wish to anyone who can reach her at the tower's summit. Oscar then goes through a series of puzzles and challenges as he climbs the tower. Midway through the stairs, it's revealed that the last person ever to successfully reach the top was the prince's great-grandfather, King Regius, around 70 years ago. When the two enter the final room, two demon statues come to life and attack them. Prince Oscar successfully defeats the statues, but the floor beneath them starts to collapse, causing Lazar to fall. The prince enters the room where the witch resides, and he is greeted by the witch, named Tinasha. Tinasha was surprised to hear the prince was related to Regius, and her familiar noted that Lazar was asleep at the bottom of the tower, unharmed. Prince Oscar explains that another powerful witch, the Witch of Silence, placed a curse on him that would kill any woman with whom he tries to have a child and asks Tinasha to lift it. The curse proves to be beyond even Tinasha's ability to break, so she tries to search for a woman strong enough to withstand the curse. Oscar gets Tinasha to admit she could survive the curse, so he changes his wish as the tower's champion from Tinasha breaking the curse to her becoming his wife. Tinasha adamantly refuses, but Oscar persists. Neither side backs down, so Oscar makes a compromise, requesting that Tinasha leave her tower and live with him for one year as his bodyguard. Finding the wish more reasonable, she agrees and returns to Farsas with Oscar and Lazar.

Kiyoshi MurayamaChika SuzumuraMasaki ŌzoraMay 14, 2024 (2024-05-14)

The king said thanks to Tinasha and invites her to King Kevin's birthday celebration and diplomatic ball. Lazar delivers a message to Oscar informing him about the king of Cuscull, Lanak, burning down villages and towns near the nation of Tayiri's border. Oscar assumes it's revenge for Tayiri's persecution of mages. Later, Tinasha suddenly asks Oscar to take official ownership her pet dragon Nark. He agrees, and after the transfer, Tinasha kisses him. Tinasha and Oscar attended the ball, where Oscar meets Princess Cecelia of Tayiri, who's attending in place of her brother. The two go to a private room, Oscar wanting to discuss the attack and Cecilia wanting to flirt, but Tinasha arrives, leading him to throw the Princess out. Tinasha weakens Oscar's barrier and warns him of what's about to happen. Lanak, ruler of Cuscull, then appears, and Tinasha declares that she's leaving Oscar to be with him. Oscar decides to visit Lucrezia for advice, only for her to already be at the castle. Gathering his most trusted allies, he asks about Tinasha's past. Lucrezia reveals that Tinasha, whose real name is Tinasha As Meyer Ur Aeterna Tuldarr, has been looking for Lanak ever since she became a witch. She is also royalty of Tuldarr, a nation that was destroyed 400 years ago. Tuldarr chose their royalty based on who had the most magical power, and being the strongest in the land, Tinasha was expected to be the next ruler while Lanak, though the king's son, would only be her consort. Though they loved each other like family, envy and her alignment with a rival political faction led Lanak to turn against her. One night, he and his allies conducted a ritual to kill Tinasha and steal her power for themselves, but her overwhelming magic broke through the ritual and ran wild. A mortally wounded Tinasha managed to regain control of her magic, but not before it destroyed the kingdom. Having become an immortal witch as a result, she built the Tower of Azure Moon on the former land of Tuldarr to live out her days in solitude. Lucrezia then points out that Tinasha was protecting Oscar from Lanak when she weakened his barrier and gave him everything he needed to track her down. Cuscull demands the capitulation of the Four Great Nations after Tinasha is reported to have attacked five large cities. The king demands that Oscar to kill Tinasha, but he refuses, still intent on marrying her. His father relents on the condition that he should ascend the throne, officially making him the new king.
