Sakuya is seen in the presence of Thouzer the Holy Emperor, but she chooses not to work under him anymore. Sakuya, accused of betraying Raoh, is sent to prison under suspicion, though she claims she serves Raoh out of love. As Raoh's army begin their raid toward Thouzer's castle, Raoh encounters Hucker and Lirong but easily kills them. Raoh later holds a meeting with Thouzer, who agrees to back down and let Raoh take the title of the "holy emperor" if he chooses to do so. It is revealed that Sakuya plans to take down the fortress on her own.
