The two head out to the snowfield at her request, but when she trips and falls, Clarence can't help but laugh. The two are slowly growing closer, but a report that arrives shortly after changes the atmosphere. It reveals the fact that she was mistreated as a maid's daughter and how she was abandoned as a substitute. Knowing the hell Katrina has gone through, he quietly resolves.

When Katrina reunited with Charles and the others, she witnessed her precious gift being trampled and was struck while protecting a shopkeeper. However, for the first time, she strongly declared her intention to break away, saying, "I will never return to the Count's mansion." Just as Charles, enraged, was about to raise his hand, Clarence stepped in. Charles insulted him, but the tables turned when he discovered that Clarence was the First Prince. Clarence silently pointed his icy blade at Charles and condemned his tyranny.
