Elen is summoned to Silesia, the capital city of the Zhcted Kingdom, leaving Limalisha behind to help Tigre. In Silesia, Elen explains to king Viktor Artur Volk Estes Tsar Zhcted that she was hired by Tigre to invade the Brune Kingdom in order to acquire peace in Alsace. Afterwards, Elen starts a quarrel with Olmütz war maiden Ludmila "Mila" Lourie, but they are halted by Polesia war maiden Sofya "Sofy" Obertas. When Tigre and Titta return from checking on the citizens of Alsace, they are joined by earl Mashas Rodant, Tigre's friend and ally. Tigre convinces other nobles to join his cause, including Territoire viscount Hughes Augre and his son Gerard Augre. Elen, Tigre and Limalisha discuss their plans but are interrupted by the arrival of Mila. They decide to reconvene in the village of Rodrick, and Mila questions Tigre about his motives as they ride on horseback. Along the way, they are ambushed by the Seven Chains Assassins. Mila uses her Viralt, a short spear named Lavias, using cryokinesis to kill six of these mercenaries. However, Limalisha is bitten by a snake, prompting Tigre to suck out the venom. Tigre and Elen head towards Rodrick to get medical attention.
