The ki turns out to be a decoy for the real Queen, Loropechika, a clumsy, absent-minded young woman. Gaja is impressed with Noelle, Mimosa, and Finral and introduces them to Loropechika, who reveals she was cursed by Megicula and will die in a year. Undine explains they want Asta and the others to help defeat Megicula, who is in the Spade kingdom, as Loropechika inherited the power of all previous Heart Queens and is too precious to die so young. Vanessa, Magna, and Luck scout the Diamond Kingdom’s border and witness a Spade knight defeat a Diamond army, which even scares Luck. Loropechika explains Heart mages are limited to natural magic like water and are incapable of truly killing a devil, whereas Clover mages invented unnatural magic, such as Spatial and Time magic, and certain mages born in such an unnatural environment can kill devils, such as Yami, Asta, and Secre, who Loropechika classes in the Arcane Stage, above Stage Zero. Mimosa contacts Julius and he agrees the Clover kingdom will help. Loropechika reveals that Megicula is more powerful than Zagred, the devil that revived the elves, because he is siphoning power from Spade citizens, preparing to invade all the kingdoms, thus Loropechika is planning to invade the Spade Kingdom before she dies and asks Asta and his friends to grow stronger and gather other Arcane mages for the invasion in 6 months. They explain the situation to Yami who deduces the Spade knight must have been possessed by Megicula. Yami orders every Bull to train for the entire 6 months and become at least as strong as a Squad Vice Captain in preparation for war. (Source: Wikipedia)
