A very tense and emotional episode as we finally get to see what kind of person the future Mongolian empress is and her motivations for being the driving force of our main character's journey. Sitara's inner thoughts as she converses with the nonchalance and kindness of the future empress is heart wrenching and agonizing. Not the typical role for Misaki Kuno, but she delivers in her introduction. With the passing of the seasons, we see Sitata completely disguised in her lies. Whether her disguise will prove sufficient for the turmoil to come with the passing of Genghis Khan, we shall see.
