Malleus almost falls to Rollo’s fire lotuses during the event, saved by Siver and Sebek. Later Sebek is distraught by the misunderstanding that the flowers devoured him.
In the bell tower Sebek and Silver volunteer to stay behind so that the group of Idia, Azul and Malleus can confront Rollo, even if it might be the last thing they do: “We could ask for no greater honor than to have contributed in some small way to your bright and shining future, my liege!” (Idia: “Are we suddenly in a medieval drama or something?” Azul: “Must these Diasomnia boys be so theatrical about everything…?”)
Malleus responds, “I have truly fine retainers,” pleasing Sebek extremely.
After the confrontation with Rollo, Sebek declares that he had every faith that Malleus would vanquish the opposition. (Malleus: “I had faith in you two as well. I knew that my guardsmen would prevail.”)
After Jade reveals that he knows how to play the flute Sebek declares that he can’t let himself be outdone, announcing that he will be playing the violin, though he has never attempted it before, because he has always wanted to try it for himself after listening to Malleus play as much as he has and that way they can have something to talk about.
Sebek does not succeed at playing the violin but is not disheartened, saying, “I’ve gained new insight into how proficient Malleus truly is! I never knew playing the violin was so difficult. My liege is simply incredible!”
Sebek attempts to redeem himself with the flute but then decides that there is no point in learning woodwinds as Malleus’ specialty is stringed instruments.
