Episode 2 recap

A saboteur sneaks into the apothecary room and waters down Kyle's medicine. Kyle drinks the vial and rests under the watch of glowing yellow eyes. He arrives at the desert battlefield bleeding through his bandages. Though the Demon King wants to pause, the high priest orders the trial to proceed. Kyle directs thousands of troops with flags before the incense burns down. Afterwards, Kyle deduces the trap, and the Queen plots harsher moves.
