Hortensia manages to survive the rebellion, but with the King dead and the Princess Mariel missing, Hortensia's next king is a young boy named Charlot. Two weeks later, after mourning their dead relatives, Alfred and Marius begin training under Maurice to get revenge on Camellia.

Georg tells him the new Pope of the Orthodox Church, Alexi Baldebron, secretly planned the coup behind the scenes so he could place Charlot on the throne and rule Hortensia through him. As Maurice fled the castle, he asked Mariel to cut her hair to make it easier to hide her from their pursuers, which she reluctantly did. In the present, Alfred and Marius hear rumors of a shapeshifting monster terrorizing a nearby village. A young boy gets lost in the nearby caves, as Alfred and Marius go to rescue him.

Deflotte does not trust them until Maurice informs him the bodies were not the dead villagers that Deflotte grew up with. Deflotte reveals that he was born in the village, and his father was the head priest who hated that he left, but the Pope quarantined the village to stop the spread of a plague, so the priest led the village in prayer until he was the last man alive. Soon after finding the priest's diary, the Ecclesiastical Knights threaten to burn what is left of the village, when a giant monster appears.

At the capital, Georg tells Alfred and Maurice that he had nothing to do with the Ecclesiastical Knights trying to kill them. Suddenly, the main cathedral is attacked by monsters summoned by the two children from before, Saria and Elva, who demand the Pope hand over a relic that Rugis instructed them to find.
