Pledging to serve Villar, Theo heads to Artuk with Siluca. The first task Villar gives them is to govern the Forest of Eternal Darkness, a territory ruled by vampires. When Theo and Siluca head to the forest, they see the shadow of an ominous-looking woman..

Villar's Mage Leader, Margaret, is about to turn 25. Villar only employs female mages, and when they reach the age of 25, he has their contracts voided. A lavish party is thrown. All in attendance express their gratitude to Margaret, as well as their sorrow at having to bid her farewell. It is then that Villar takes her hand and asks her to dance. Siluca looks on with growing frustration as they dance passionately, almost flaunting their mutual feelings for each other.

Even after Villar is killed, the Altirk Lords continue to fight on. Gathering at Lassic’s castle, the Lords of the Union proclaim the forming of the Altirk Treaty to carry on Villar’s legacy. Lassic nominates Theo to lead the Treaty, but is unable to get the other Lords to agree, as Theo’s current list of military accomplishments falls short of their expectations for their leader.

With the Union now mobilizing in full force, it succeeds in getting revenge for the Le Couleurs. However, their next vicious opponent awaiting for them on the seas is Sea King Erik. Will the Union prevail, or get crushed by the Nord's fighting prowess?
