 * For Fine, who has just accustomed her lifestyle as wandering mercenary, it is her first time in visiting Silesia as a Vanadis.


 * The new Fire-Vanadis's past is also briefly explored that she was born as commoner before her rise as a mercenary.


 * Even as elected by Bargren as a Vanadis, Fine still has her doubts as a Vanadis as she remain hesitant in fulfilling her obligation as one of Zhcted's ministers, despite both Viktor and Eugene informs her that Viralts are the ones who choosing her qualities. After seemly impresses over Bargren's power and will, it is safe to assume that Fine will going to utilize it anyways regardless.
