S1·E6 Snow: The Young Girl Inside the Ice

Soon after the confrontation with Alviss, Ginta & co. encounter Edward, a small dog-man introducing himself as the custodian of Snow, a princess currently fleeing from her stepmother queen, an insatiable woman who, out of desire for the world's throne, makes attempts on her stepdaughter's life to reign over the entire kingdom. On Edward's request to rescue the princess, who at the moment is dying inside a frosted palace, Ginta discovers that the girl bears an exact resemblance to his Earth friend Koyuki, and the minions Ian and Loco that the queen sends after the princess turn out to be none others than Chess Pieces.
