Lapis Re:Lights – Episode 10 – Sneaking into the Castle and Tiara’s Dreams

Last time, Lavie, Lynette and Ashley find out that Rosetta intends to visit Tiara. With that, they decide to sneak into the castle. We also find out Eliza’s intentions to bring Tiara home.

As expected, it seems that I’m right about Eliza’s intentions to bring Tiara home. It becomes obvious when she obviously states that Tiara shouldn’t even think about becoming a witch. Even at the dinner table, Eliza’s intentions become very clear. She became a witch to fulfill her duties and she doesn’t want Tiara follow in her path. She thinks that Tiara’s dream of becoming a witch is simply an aspiration.

This makes me wonder why Eliza is so against Tiara becoming a witch. Is it because of something that happened to her in the past? Nevertheless, it becomes clear that this is probably one of the reasons she has Chloe to bend the rules.

In other words, Chloe treated Tiara’s group unfairly so she can expel them and send Tiara home. It’s obvious that she is behind this plan. I won’t be surprised that Chloe ends up telling the truth about her plan with Eliza to bring Tiara home. After all, they knew each other from being part of Ray. Not to mention, Eliza is awfully overprotective of her little sister, which makes things worse. Lastly, in a flashback, it seems that Eliza may have the same illness that Tiara have from the subtle coughing, which she says it’s not a big deal.

At last, Rosetta, Lynette, Ashley, and Lavie made it to Bistol in Waleland. While Rosetta asked for entry and the guards recognizes her, she has to wait three days. Of course, the girls aren’t going to wait that long. Lavie suggests taking dangerous route and sneak in. They did just that and they manage to infiltrate the castle. They made it thanks to Rosetta knowing the shortcuts and secret passages.

Ashley eventually blew her cover trying to act like a statue and the guards chased after them. It’s only when Rosetta met with Anna that Eliza finds out that they are Tiara’s friends. While they reunited with Tiara, it seems that Tiara lacks confidence since she can’t become a witch. This is something she really wants to do.

Of course, Rosetta tells her that she should achieve her dream in her own way instead of chasing after her older sister and becoming like her. This reminds me of the same lessons of imitation with idol anime. As they say, imitation can only get you so far, but ultimately not lead to success. Tiara needs to find her own way to achieve her dream of becoming a witch and perform orchestras. As her friends mention, they can simply go to a different academy, improve their magical, singing and dancing skills.

From this, they can prove the Flora Girls’ Academy wrong by showing what they got so the academy can regret their decision. But then again, maybe the academy is already regretting this decision of this scandal coming to light, which can ruin their reputation. Either way, they have a lot of time to figure out what to do next. We’ll find out what Chloe and Eliza planned all along next time.
