“May I Ask for One Final Thing?” follows Scarlet El Vandimion, a noblewoman falsely accused and publicly humiliated by her fiancé, Second Prince Kyle. After her engagement is annulled, Scarlet unleashes her repressed, sadistic personality, choosing to exact revenge with her formidable fists against those who wronged her and the corrupt system they represent.

Scarlet’s Explosive Confrontation with Palmian Adherents
Episode 7 plunges viewers straight into Scarlet’s signature brand of chaos. The episode opens with Scarlet causing a massive explosion, destroying a portion of a building. Her target: a group of Palmian adherents, who are left surprised but unharmed by the blast. Their confusion quickly turns to anger as they realize Scarlet, the “silver-haired devil,” is responsible, and they call upon their inquisitor, Catarl the Wise, to confront her.
Scarlet, however, remains unphased. She swiftly disarms Catarl, preventing him from casting a spell, and, after a brief exchange where he attempts to justify their “sacred mission” to stop the Jan festival, she knocks him unconscious. This confrontation cements Scarlet’s reputation as a formidable force, with the Palmian priests even dubbing her the “Evil Incarnate” for her actions. This aggressive intervention underscores the growing conflict between Scarlet and the Palmian Church, a key element of the current arc.
Diana’s Romantic Awakening and Scarlet’s Unconventional Matchmaking
Amidst the action, Episode 7 also explores the blossoming emotions of Saint Diana. After being rescued by Leonardo (Scarlet’s older brother) from a fall, Diana experiences love at first sight, developing an intense crush on him. Observing Diana’s newfound feelings, Scarlet takes on an unexpected role: matchmaker.
Recognizing that Diana has been unable to enjoy a normal life due to her responsibilities as a Saint, Scarlet orchestrates a date between Diana and Leonardo at a local festival in a hot spring town. Scarlet covertly advises Leonardo to accept Diana’s invitation, explaining that Diana yearns for the experience of a normal girl. Leonardo, who views Diana much like a younger sister, agrees, and Diana revels in her time spent with him at the festival. This subplot highlights a softer, more caring side of Scarlet, contrasting with her violent tendencies, and adds a layer of lighthearted romance to the narrative.
Unraveling Political Intrigue and Emerging Threats
Beyond the immediate clashes, Episode 7 lays the groundwork for deeper political intrigue. Julius, Scarlet’s brother and a central figure in the fight against corruption, suspects a traitor within the Dianist church who is leaking information to the Palmians. He tasks Sigurd with a covert mission to infiltrate the Palmian ranks and uncover the mole, hinting at a potential internal threat. The character Dios Westwood is subtly implicated as the possible informant.
Furthermore, the Palmian Priests, reeling from Scarlet’s forceful intervention, reach out to Alflame from a neighboring kingdom, seeking his assistance to deal with Scarlet. This alliance suggests an escalation of the conflict and the introduction of new, powerful adversaries for Scarlet, setting the stage for future battles.
Conclusion
“May I Ask for One Final Thing?” Episode 7 successfully blended the series’ signature high-octane action with significant character development and plot progression. Scarlet’s brutal efficiency against the Palmian heretics, coupled with her surprising role in fostering Diana’s romance, showcased her multifaceted personality.
