Go To

A visiting Sultan finds Emilia desirable and kidnaps her with the intention of making her his latest bride.


Tropes featured in this episode:

  • Amazon Chaser: It's Emilia's contempt towards his misogyny that makes the Sultan want her, though even he loses his patience with her when she refuses to submit to his authority.
  • And Now You Must Marry Me: When the Sultan wants a woman, he'll have her kidnapped, renamed and trained to be his wife. Unfortunately for Emilia, he does just that with her.
  • Divide and Conquer: The Daring Dragoon manages to ruin Croque's treaty with the Sultan and frees Emilia from execution by stealing the peace treaty and tricking them into storming the Embassy.
  • Floral Theme Naming: The Sultan likes to name his wives after flowers they remind him of, calling Emilia "Sunflower."
  • Lousy Lovers Are Losers: Iris/Sheba implies that the Sultan makes for a lousy lover.
  • Straw Misogynist: The Sultan grows bored with his wives once the novelty wears off and gets a new one afterward. He finds Emilia's defiance "cute", but eventually bores of her too.
  • Top Wife: Iris was the Sultan's first wife, and while she still loves him, she has also grown resentful that she's become just another flower in his harem.
