The conclusion of Part 4 comes with an emotional farewell... On the surface, Rozemyne seems busy studying for her next year at the Royal Academy and working toward the installation of the new High Priest. However, beneath all that is a heart swirling in turmoil.

A decree from the king himself requires Ferdinand to leave Ehrenfest, and as their final days together draw near, Rozemyne must face losing her greatest pillar of support since she first entered the temple. She treats him and their retainers to a meal as a parting gift.

However, dark clouds loom overhead, and an unexpected incident threatens to separate the pair even sooner than expected. Can Rozemyne fight back the tears as she utters a prayer for Ferdinand, blessing him one last time?

Here concludes Part 4, along with a collection of short stories, a prelude to Part 5, and You Shiina's classic four-panel manga!
