The Fate of the Royal Medal

is the 4th episode of the Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (anime).

Summary
A despair-ridden Anne goes into Jonas' wagon to find her missing supply of silver sugar, and learns from the blueprints that he intended to enter a piece designed by her mother, and being unable to make it he resorted to stealing Anne's confection. Anne decides to return Challe's wing and set him free, but Challe refuses to leave wanting Anne to keep her promise of making him a confection. The next morning, Anne meets a fairy named Lusul El Min, and makes another confection modeled off Lusul. Anne and Challe travel through the night and arrive in Lewiston right before the confections are judged. Anne learns that the person she met at the doctor's inn is the silver sugar viscount Hugh Mercury. Anne and Jonas are ordered to present their confections to the king, and the king declares Jonas the winner. However, when Mithril appears, Anne explains the truth that she made the confection that Jonas submitted as his own. Hugh orders Anne and Jonas to make the confection Jonas submitted to prove Anne's accusation. Jonas struggles, and despite her best effort Anne is unable to reproduce her confection. As such, neither Anne nor Jonas could take credit for making the winning confection and the Royal Medal was not awarded to anybody. Afterwards, Anne punishes Jonas by slapping him in the face. Despite having completed his task, Challe decides to stay with Anne wanting a confection from a silver sugar master, while Anne is determined to try again.
