Recent Timeline

  • Bodyguard's silence and sex revealed (Season 2 Episode 10)

    Rudeus was hurt when the bodyguard ignored him on the way back to school. Luke explained she was forbidden to speak while guarding the princess, and later she clarified that speaking in public would undermine her intimidating reputation given her childish voice, resolving the misunderstanding. Rudeus then asked Jenius about the bodyguard's sex and was unconvinced by the answer.

She then admitted she had long loved him and wanted to stay with him forever.

Later, with Luke's aphrodisiac and Ariel's support, Sylphiette spent the night with Rudeus to treat his condition; he drank the medicine and, weeping the next morning, declared himself cured and thanked her.

  • Haunted house exorcism (Season 2 Episode 13)

    Rudeus bought a cheap house rumored to be cursed after earlier residents were murdered. During a night watch Zanoba shielded Rudeus from the ghost and held it in place while magic was used, revealing the ghost to be a movable doll responsible for the murders.

  • Proposal to Sylphy accepted (Season 2 Episode 13)

    After touring the renovated new house, Rudeus proposed to Sylphy again. She remained reluctant because of her duties as Ariel Anemoi Asura's Guardian Magician, but she eventually accepted.
