From Bureaucrat to Villainess episode 7 recap

Titled "Dad Puts On An Exhibition", the episode began with a look at the Auvergne Mansion. The sprawling land, sweeping gardens, and massive mansion, attended to by many servants, was managed by Duke Leopold Auvergne. As it stands, he was also the Kingdom's Master of Finance, which is why he was away from home a lot. But he had finally returned after 2 long months.
With him, he bought a gift for Grace - a rocking horse. Fearing how she would react, Grace, or rather Kenzaboro played it off very coolly to avoid an unsavory situation. Next, Grace and Josette were off to Meister Waltz's with a gift as thanks for his hard work and another request. But they were surprised when they got to his little hut in the woods.
The Meister and the Duke were spinning tops and enjoying themselves. Grace and Josette quickly listened in on their conversation, with the Duke stating that he felt he didn't deserve to be Duke. Stepping up, Kenzaboro was at it again, doing a splendid job in restoring the Duke's confidence and defeating him at spinning tops, which pleasantly surprised Leopold.

Moving on, the day had finally arrived - the Magic Exhibition. With the Duke and the Principal in attendance, Auguste and Richard put up an impressive display of their newly acquired Magic Skills. But next up was Grace and Anna's turn. With a beautiful display of teamwork, they overcome their first test of hitting 3 flying targets by combining their magic.
For the next bit, to take down the merged beast, they switched sides, i.e., this time Grace assisted Anna. The result - a breathtaking display by the girls in the Magic Exhibition. Once they stepped off the stage, they were greeted and praised by all the Princes and the Duke himself on their display. At this moment, Anna was so flattered that she nervously explained how she managed to boost her stamina.
Previously, she had gained a few extra pounds and sought to eat less. However, a few words from Grace/Kenzaboro determined her to eat her fill and work it off through exercise, training, and magic practice. Hearing her little story had the opposite effect - everyone present gained a boost in their intimacy meters towards Grace.
