Queen's Blade: The Successor to the Throne: Claudette and Listy are fighting in the courtyard of Bansu Castle, just as Bansu's army is leaving in his bid to overthrow Aldra by conventional military force. Claudette is initially victorious, knocking out Listy with a lightning bolt. Claudette tries to dissuade the Count from his attempted overthrow, saying that it will only breed war across the continent. Claudette reveals that Lady Maria, Bansu's wife and her adoptive mother, told Claudette to heal Bansu's pain if she did not return from Queen's Blade. Claudette has been serving loyally to soothe Bansu's emotional scars. Bansu tries to convince her to serve him again in his bid to overthrow Aldra, but she refuses, and he tells her to leave. Listy then awakens, however, and it is now apparent that she was sent to kill the Count. Claudette manages to stop her, but is eventually defeated herself when Listy collapses a roof on her. As Claudette is teleported back to Gainos, she reconciles with the Count, who then withdraws his army. Aldra calls it a success: though the Count still lives, his coup was thwarted. Claudette warns Reina that Listy has changed. Meanwhile, it is seen that Nyx has found a job as a barmaid, and that Tomoe is training fiercely, now wearing Shizuka's old horned headband. Melona, Nanael, and Melpha discuss the mysterious Aldra, and Melona steals Nanael's sacred milk.
