The Beginning After the End episode 3, Meeting the King, commenced where it left off as Arthur was standing before a smiling beast. As the beast tried to approach the protagonist, Arthur jumped, but couldn't block her attack. The beast then talked to Arthur, assuring him that his parents were still alive. The beast then introduced itself as a majestic dragon named Sylvia.

A few days passed as Arthur stayed in the cave with Sylvia, as the latter provided the protagonist with fruits. Sylvia then showcased her magic skills, prompting Arthur to request that the dragon teach her new skills. So, for the next few days, Arthur trained under Sylvia's supervision and eventually learned new skills.

Moreover, the time Arthur spent with Sylvia made him realize that Sylvia was kind, despite her scary appearance. However, one day, Sylvia threw Arthur to the side of the cave, asking him to avoid moving. Soon, a dragon with a similar appearance to Sylvia appeared in the cave, trying to kill Sylvia using its magic.

However, Sylvia molted her skin and emerged as a majestic white dragon. She then pushed the other dragon aside and stopped time, asking Arthur to come out. She gave Arthur an egg and opened a portal to transport him back to where he came. In a tearful goodbye, Arthur called Sylvia her grandmother and entered the portal.
