## Synopsis

Even after Villar is killed, the Altirk Lords refuse to acknowledge defeat. Gathering in Lassic's castle, they form the Artuk Pact to carry out Villar's dying wish. Lassic nominates Theo as the leader, but is unable to gain support from the rest of the Lords. Meanwhile, Marrine in hopes of recovering Bulltava, tries to reach out to Theo. Assessing the current state of war, Siluca suggests a clever scheme to Theo.

## Long Summary

Milza fights off the remainder of those still loyal to the now-deceased Count Villar. The Dartanian Prince disparages his former ally as someone that even in death is a hindrance.

That night at Lassic's castle, the remaining Altirk Lords gather and sign a treaty. Afterward, a meeting is held and the treaty that is known as the Altirk Treaty is thereby finalized. With that settled, Queen Edokia proposes who should be the leader. A lord suggests that Selge be it in honor of his older brother. He, however, declines as his goals lie in reclaiming his lost land and he nominates Lassic in his steed. Lassic, on the other hand, declines as well and nominates Theo instead. This proposal receives a mixed response as they wish to have Lassic be the leader. In order to prove himself to them, Theo promises to accomplish a great merit in the next battle. As a compromise, this proposal is accepted, but Lassic would act as the temporary leader in the meantime.

The following day, Milza receives a message from Marrine that she wants him to invade and conquer Regalia. This act is to ensure that Bulltava is recaptured. Furthermore, Milza becomes privy to the treaty signed by the Altirk Lords, but pays no heed to it. Afterward, Milza along with his army briefly fight off Selge and his forces. Soon they're meet by Lassic and his army and after a brief altercation between the two lords, the fight ends in a draw and. Even though Milza's forces retreat, he complements Lassic's power and capability, as does Lassic to Milza.

Outside Theo's castle, Marrine accompanied by her mage Aubest and her army is informed about Theo's military might. Desiring to meet Theo in person, Marrine has Aubest arrange a summit. Theo agrees to it and attends it with Siluca. After Siluca has an embracing moment with her father, Theo and Marrine briefly talk about Alexis and the subject changes to the Grancrest. Although in creating the Grancrest, the ones that roam in the dark shall emerge. On that note, Theo proclaims that he plans on following the goals that Marrine once followed and plans to succeed in them. In the end, the two agree to disagree and plan on meeting once again on the battlefield.

Walking back to their castle, Theo and Siluca talk about how Marrine still harbors feelings for Alexis and hopes to reunite the two. Siluca believes that endeavor will be a challenge, but Theo is more than up to the task and kisses Siluca on the lips to express his resolve. The soldiers of Theo's castle then chant in favor of Theo's love and Marrine hears it. It's revealed that this act was to remind Marrine of what's "precious". Marrine, however, is shown to be upset by this and is then given a report of Klute's ambush in the north and causing the Waldlind forces to retreat. With a great opportunity showing itself, Siluca suggests that Theo return to Sistina and defeat the Rossini family. By doing this Theo would prove himself to the member of the Altirk Treaty as a capable leader. Theo agrees to do it and brings up the matter with Lassic and his mage Moreno. Although Moreno voices his disdain against the endeavor, Lassic favors it as it'd be conducive to allow Theo to become the new leader.

After the credits, we see the Rossini family enjoy dinner together and are informed that Theo's is heading to Sistina. In preparation for his arrival, Rossini's army heavily taxes a village of their food and supplies.
