Subaru has his long-awaited date with Emilia at the village. After returning to the mansion, Emilia is summoned to the capital and the two are escorted to the capital by Wilhelm and Ferris. At the capital, Subaru sees the merchant and buys a bag full of apples. They then meet Julius and the sight of him chivalrously kissing Emilia's hand causes a blatantly jealous reaction by Subaru. Subaru then witnesses a redheaded young woman, Priscilla being chased by those same three hoodlums (that killed him in a previous timeline) in the alley, and he goes in to save Priscilla, who turns out didn't need his help. The hoodlums are chased away when Old Man Rom appears wondering where Felt had gone since the night Reinhard took her away. Subaru offers Priscilla an apple afterwards as Emilia arrives to get Subaru. The next day, Subaru breaks his promise with Emilia and accepts a ride to the castle in Priscilla's carriage (as her apple servant) and there, the candidates for the upcoming royal election gather. Emilia sees Subaru with Priscilla as Priscilla has declared Subaru to be her 'apple guy'. The fifth and final candidate appears and to everybody's surprise, it is Felt.
