Ars receives a personal invitation to a party hosted by Couran Salamakhia, the elder of the late governor's two sons. Ars hardly knows what to make of the situation, much less the big ideas Couran is about to share with him.

Ars tries to put their plan into action, to take save the hostages from Castle Rolto and defeat the enemy force. But the plan will put Ars's own life on the line...

Ars's side has taken heavy losses, but the battle of Castle Rolto is still undecided. Can Couran's forces take the victory, and will Lupa and his wife be reunited?

Ars sends Pham to report to Couran about their victory at Castle Rolto, but the battle at Castle Staatz is just heating up as Thomas hatches a plan to take Couran out directly.
