Trade Guild

Dōgyō Kumiai (同業組合)

Arte attends the funeral of a master from Leo's guild. The other masters are honor bound to hire his now unemployed apprentices. Leo refuses another apprentice as his workshop is too small. Arte's presence causes a fight during a game of Calcio. The masters privately discuss Arte and decide she will join the apprentices painting a fresco in a newly built palace to test if she should remain Leo's apprentice. Leo is impressed when Arte fearlessly joins the other apprentices. During the work, many apprentices are impressed when Arte manages to keep up with the intensive labor. 

Guild Leader Aroldo realizes Arte reminds him of Leo as an apprentice, and plans to support Arte against the masters. With the fresco almost complete, Arte asks to join the apprentices playing Calcio and is accepted by the same apprentice who initially tried to reject her. Lord Yuri Falier, who commissioned the fresco's for his new palace, arrives from Venice and is particularly impressed by one of Arte's sketches, though he is surprised to learn they were drawn by a female apprentice.
