Summary
The bottle Black Bard got from the pirate ship really is from the Crimson Empire, part of a mystery he has been keen to solve.

The place Snow Snow was born and raised in was where her ancestors were driven in the past to live as slaves.

Black Bard sings of the empire that existed long ago that ended up burning itself to the ground with the same flames it spread across the land. The leader of its army, the fabled Crimson Knight was captured and executed.

One of Black Bard's harp strings snaps and he states that no further record of the empire exists beyond that. Learning more about it was the reason he came to Snow Snow's home so Black Bard tells her she owes him nothing, and to not risk her life for him again.

Windy does not react well to the way Black Bard is treating Snow Snow. Elsewhere, the head of the March Bunny Association vents his anger at what occurred at the docks on Dormouse.

At a restaurant, Windy is pleased to announce they can order anything they want since everything is being paid for by Black Bard.

He appears very happy to perform for people in the restaurant as Windy offers to share with Snow Snow details of Black Bard's past.
