Madan no Ou to Vanadis - ep04

Now that the battle is over they are having to deal with the aftermath. First you have the actions of Ganelon and Thenardier. That with Thenardier's defeat Ganelon withdraws his forces for now and wait to see what Thenardier will do. It seems that at least for now Tigre will have a degree of peace from his own country. However he has no intentions to leave Tigre alone because of his connection in Zhcted he is going to send a war maiden after Tigre next. This point is emphases with Eleonora's return to Zhcted to explain her action to the king. Which almost ends badly for her with her poor political skill since she is better suited for the battlefield. Although her sister Soyfa Obertas saves her and afterwords warns her of future danger coming from Ludmila Lourie. That with her connection with Thenardier she will be used against Tigre and Eleonora will have to do battle with a fellow War Maiden.

Then with Tigre is having to deal with how his country will see his actions against Thenardier. Although with the the arrival of Mashas he is able to explain the situation, and through Mashas hopefully the king will see that he is in the right. That it also seems that with this battle Tigre is becoming a power on par with Ganelon and Thenardier. It turns out the he will be the force that will clear out the corruption in his kingdom, and the other lord might be willing to side with him because of the support he has from both Mashas and Zchted. That to obtain the lasting peace for Alsace it will cause him to clash with Ganelon and Thenardier over their desire for the throne. That in the end it would be best for them to fight each other than fighting their war by proxy in Alsace. That they might unintentional make Tigre the king's successor.

Now as Tigre is continuing to build his power base Eleonora returns from Zchted with news of what will happen to Alsace. That in the end Alsace will remain in Tigre's hands for now because if she took it as per their agreement then it would become apart of her domain. However in the future it might be something they will have to consider. Currently there is a more pressing problem with them having to face Ludmila Lourie a fellow War Maiden as an enemy. That means that just because she supports him doesn't mean that the others War Maiden will that the coming battle with Ludmila Lourie is one such example. It is not long after this that the person in question comes herself. In the end it is kind of ironic that a future enemy helps Tigre with the assassin sent after him by Thenardier the same force that is causing Ludmila to become Tigre's enemy. The question is how will the future battle with Ludmila go since she isn't corrupted like Zion but will likely face him honorably.
