I couldn’t find a definitive canonical account of how exactly Elizabeth escapes prison with all seven Grimoires in A Livid Lady’s Guide to Getting Even in the sources available—but here’s what is known and what remains unclear.
What We Do Know
-
She’s arrested and imprisoned unjustly Elizabeth is thrown into the dungeon by the crown prince after he breaks off their engagement and accuses her falsely. This scene sets off her path toward exile and revenge.
-
She already possesses the Grimoires before her imprisonment The Seven Grimoires are part of her arsenals from before or very early around the time of her betrayal. It isn’t a later acquisition during her time in prison.
-
Her escape is triggered by betrayal and inactivity from those she trusted After realizing that her father, the king, and others assume she’ll handle her own downfall, and that no one comes to rescue or vindicate her, she resolves to flee. Her maid, Mireille, plays a crucial role by pointing out how betrayed and abandoned she is.
What’s Unclear or Not Specified
-
The mechanics of the escape It’s not established whether Elizabeth used magic from the Grimoires to physically break out, aided someone from inside (like guards), or whether it was a clandestine release. That detail hasn’t been fleshed out in sources reviewed.
-
Which Grimoires she used (if any) during the prison escape Although she possesses all seven, there’s no clear statement that specific Grimoires were deployed in the act of escaping.
-
Whether the escape happened publicly or stealthily It’s not explicit if others know how she got out, or even when she officially crossed the border or left her home.
If you want, I can try digging into original Japanese volumes or fan translations to see if there’s a more detailed version of the prison escape scene. Want me to look?
