Meeting Margaret

At the beginning of the series, Madlax, working alternately as an assassin and a bodyguard, helps various people to either survive in the harsh environment, or leave it for good. Thus, for example, she dragged Pete, a Galza freedom fighter, who carried important data, out of a Royalist blockade; she shaked off Chris Krana's pursuers, so that he could meet his father, Galza's general Min Durk; she repeatedly saved the life of Eric Gillain, a bibliodetective (a person whose task is to search for rare books) from Nafrece. Then she known the civl war was triggered by Enfant, she intented to destroy the organization. Madlax also makes an enemy with Limelda Jorg, a military woman soldier.

In episode 11, Madlax becomes the bodyguard Vanessa Renee, who has connection with Margaret Burton which eventually leads to meet Margaret. Margaret tells Madlax about Eric Gillian and Secondary, remembering lady Kuanjita, they go to her village. Kuanjita tells them about the three holy books and the gate to open the truth, Margaret intends to collect all books to regain her lost memories.

Since there, Madlax had fought Limelda while Margaret was being controlled by the holy books. The battle later leads Vanessa's death. Seeing that her friend and tutor was killed, Margaret shoots Madlax because she knew she (Madlax) was the one who killed her father. Madlax does not die, she and Elinor and Nahkl then try to rescue Margaret from Friday Monday. Elinor, who is Margaret's maid, died because of blood loss. As soon as Madlax reached the residence, Margaret accused her of killing her father, her tutor, and her devoted maidservant and shoots her, when Madlax does not resist at all.

Margaret, together with Friday Monday have finally gathered all the three books, opening the Gate. Monday decides that it is time to start the ritual that he attempts in 1999 once again and, finally, plunge the world into its "natural state", that is, a global total war. During the ritual, Margaret's memories finally returns and reveals that she herself killed her own father. Madlax then appears, shot down Friday Monday.
