Deadly Knight Shade episode 2: Roots

"After surviving a midair attack, Princess Vivian and Solaris crash deep within the forest and seek refuge at Solaris’s old family farm — but as Vivian begins to grow into her own strength, dark ties between her lineage, the Shades, and a vengeful spy start to take root."

Stranded far from the castle, Vivian ventures into a haunted forest to find help for the injured Solaris, unknowingly crossing paths with Lydia — a bitter, horned girl working for the enemy. The rescue leads them to Merriweather’s farm, where Solaris’s found family offers healing, lessons, and uneasy peace. As Vivian learns magic, crafts her first weapon, and earns her new companions’ trust, while Lydia’s resentment grows under the Conductor’s control. Meanwhile, King Castien’s desperate research hints that the roots growing in the castle grounds go deeper than he expected.
