Synopsis
Keith walks into his sister Katarina's room and learns that Prince Gerald has sent her a ton of gifts. They later talk about this on a walk of theirs and Prince Gerald approaches them and strikes up a conversation with Katarina. Keith immediately steps in and reproves the Prince making his sister feel uncomfortable. Both Mary and Alan then appear and Mary notes that Prince Gerald has a ton of Student Council work piling up. Although Prince Gerald notes that this stockpile of work seems intentional, Sophia and Maria take Katarina away and Gerald follows. That evening, Katarina and Keith have a heart-to-heart together about her joining the Department of Magic and then briefly about her relationship with Gerald.

The following day, Katarina works on the field and is watched dotingly by her father. Later when she tries to speak with her brother about her farming work, she unknowingly tracks in the house and is then disciplined by her mother for this. Afterward, Katarina tries to speak with Keith in his room, but finds out that he's missing. This throws Katarina in a deep depression after she learns that Keith has run away. Millidiana blames Katarina for Keith's disappearance and notes that her refusing to pay attention to him is the cause. After the Council of Katarinas discuss how to proceed by going on an adventure to find Keith, Gerald volunteers to come along. They later see Lorna Smith and she offers them a magical item named Alexander that can track people. She also volunteers to help them on their search for Keith. Eventually, Katarina, Gerald, Maria, Lorna, and Sora go on a search for the missing Keith.

Elsewhere, Keith is shown to have been captured by his older brother Thomas Coleman and his unnamed accomplice.
