  • Chapter 1 (adapted in Episode 2): despite not knowing her for long, Livius is concerned enough for Nike's wellbeing that he breaks off the engagement and tries to send her home so she can avoid the wrath of the people trying to assassinate him.
  • Chapter 3 (adapted in Episode 6): Nike calls Livius "Livi" for the first time, especially since he earlier complained that she never refers to him by his name. This is followed by Livius giving Nike a surprise kiss.
  • Chapter 4/Episode 4: Nike visits the orphanage and finding out Livius regularly visits the kids. The kids later collect flowers which Nike puts on Livius' bed while he's sleeping. The latter isn't exactly pleased when he wakes up.
  • Chapter 6 (adapted in Episode 5): After the engagement ceremony, Livius holds up his broken ring in front of the rainbow, thus making a full ring. This is while he and Nike hold hands (and laughing in the manga), with the latter saying, "We only have half a ring but the feelings contained within it are so much more. Why don't we make more memories together... from now on?"
  • Chapter 10 (adapted in Episode 8): The scene where Bardouin is laughing with Nike and Livius, especially since this is after he caused much trouble upon his return and was on the verge of leaving again - but Livius instead asks him to be his prime minister again.
  • Chapters 16 and 17 (adapted in Episode 11): Nike's family makes up to her/Livius and throwing them a surprise engagement party. Livius' reaction to Nike all dressed up is also this.
  • Chapter 18 (adapted in Episode 12):
    • Nike's grandma, after avoiding her following her failed scheme to break her and Livius up, says her goodbyes to Nike via her "Farewell Rain" song, which gives "warm" rain and is dedicated to people who leave the country. The lyrics make it the more nice:
      You who leave this cliff, beloved child,
      I will pray for you from here.
      For your light, your happiness...
  • Episode 12: the anime-only ending scene is of Nike and Livius kissing. And this time it gives a full view instead of being obscured like the previous ones.
  • In the beginning of the Sand Kingdom arc at chapter 21, Livius asks Nike for a goodbye kiss before she leaves for her trip. She's embarrassed by the request but gives him one, and they both smile and laugh.
  • Chapter 25:
    • Faraha takes the initiative to help Nike escape from being being made to stay against her will, even if it means going against her Prince.
    • Faraha asks Nike who she wants to be with most and who she loves. Nike, of course, replies while crying, "Livius! I really want to see him! I want to go back to Livi!" To which Faraha smiles and replies, "Yes, let's go to your home."
  • Chapter 27: Nike, after some failed attempts in previous chapters, finally is able to make it in in the capitol in the Sand Kingdom, to the delight of the citizens.
  • Chapter 28:
    • Taishi finally sees the flowers his sister had always wanted to show him.
    • Taishi realizing there's still hope for his kingdom even without Nike and that "it's okay to live this land".
    • Nike and Livius reunite - and Nike runs to hug him as soon as she sees him.
  • Chapter 29: After being a bit of a Jerkass and avoiding Nike, Livius finally learns just how much Nike did miss him despite Taishi's advances and how much she wants to share with him. They hold hands and share a kiss, and he holds her while they sleep. Made nicer since earlier he admits to Neil he's mainly jealous of Taishi for getting to spend the night hugging her because he himself has never touched Nike once whenever they're sleeping together.
