Kazuya is stumped by the disappearance of a valuable plate from a local bazaar. At the same time he sees an advertisement in the paper call for all “Descendants of the Gray Wolves” to return to their ancestral home. After telling Victorique about it she insists on going to the town immediately.

Jaqueline, an old friend of Grevil's, pays a visit to the Academy to make a donation and has a sudden encounter with Victorique at the Library Tower. There, she tells the story of a mysterious incident from the past where she was falsely accused of murder, unaware about its connection with both Victorique and the reason why Grevil has started bearing his unusual hairstyle.

Victorique is dragged by her teacher to her classroom and is introduced to the rest of her classmates. Avril tries to bring her attention but she gets angry on her instead. Kujo demands Victorique to apologize to her, and when she refuses, he sets with Avril to keep investigating the Leviathan case without her help. Meanwhile Victorique has an encounter with Brian Roscoe, a friend of the victim's, on the top of the clock tower.

Kujo is enjoying Christmas together with Victorique when he is taken by force from the Academy as King Rupert declared that all foreign citizens should be sent back to their home countries in spite if the imminent conflict in Saubure. However, Kujo manages to escape and returns to the Academy eager to meet Victorique again, unaware that he became a hostage in Albert's hands as a mean to ensure her cooperation with his plan.
