After several Anatoray battleships are destroyed, word arrives at the Imperial Capital that the Mad-thane fleet is losing the battle, prompting the Emperor of Anatoray to order an unknown asset sent to a safe place away from the Guild. As the Disith attack continues, Claus and Lavie are forced to leave the bridge, unable to directly deliver the message to David. The two soon realize that the second message tube from David's daughter Holly Mad-thane was undelivered. While David gives the order to fight to the last ship, Claus disrupts the speaker system to read the message written by Holly expressing her wishes for her father to return home. Anatoray soldiers attempt to stop Claus and Lavie, but are held back by musketeer Mullin Shetland. After hearing the heartfelt message and ridding himself of shame, David orders the fleet to withdraw. As Claus and Lavie retreat in their vanship, they are suddenly guided by a red vanship pilot to stay out of the line of fire. At the same time, the Silvana appears and fires at the pursuing Disith fleet, while the Mad-thane fleet escapes. Claus and Lavie visit Holly to bring her news of David's safety.
