## Synopsis

All of the Lords of the Fantasia Union are gathered for a conference. As the Altirk troops head to Jalucia, the conference site, Forbes, and Clovis are two points of passage that they must conquer.
Theo heads to a port city, which is ruled by an independent Forbes Lord, Ladvan Torias. Theo’s first mission is to capture the port city in order to seize control over Ladvan’s fortress city, but Theo could not possibly sacrifice the people of Ladvan, who endear and trust their sincere Lord. While Theo suggests taking the conflict outside of the city, what kind of strategy will he deploy?

## Long Summary

Theo arrives in the port city governed by the Lord Ladvan Torias. A flashback involving Theo and Siluca reveals that the lord of that port city will be resolved to not surrender under any means. Therefore does, in fact, refuse to surrender, Siluca recommends to challenge him outside of his city.

Lord Ladvan meets with Theo just outside his building in the port town and announces that he's siding with the Factory Alliance. Because of this he refuses to negotiate with Theo and will only resolve the matters in battle. Hearing this, Theo clarifies that if he were to accept the Lord's challenge he would have to fight the townspeople as well.

Lord Ladvan confirms this, Theo then announces that if he were to withdraw that day Lord Lassic would arrive with his 30k strong forces. The surrounding townspeople become disconcerted by this revelation and Theo proposes a compromise. He claims that if Lord Ladvan and his soldiers were to face his men in battle they'd spare the townspeople and he can die with honor. Admitting that the offer does suit his fancy he agrees to it much to his people's dismay. Moved by the people's pleas to try and dissuade their lord from Theo's offer going as far as to die with him. Theo gives another proposal, to cut ties with the Factory Alliance and to switch sides with the Fantasia Union for the sake of his people. After careful consideration, Lord Ladvan agrees the proposal. He also notes that because of this proposal, Theo will not gain any military achievement. On the other hand, Theo claims that he doesn't care for such things and is glad that everything was resolved without any conflict. Moved by Theo's statement, Lord Ladvan pledges his fealty toward Theo. He, however, cannot accept the offer as he's a Knight of Lord Villar Constance, but accepts his loyalty instead.

Elsewhere, Lassic kills the King of Forbes and the feat is reported to Lord Villar by Laura. Villar notes that the extraordinary achievements of both Theo and Lassic will surely shatter the enemy's morale. Villar announces to his soldiers that the path to Jalucia is open. At the Waldlind Castle, Margrave Marrine is brought up to date about the current situation by her Mage Aubest. At the Union Lord soiree, Count Villar, Laura, Theo, and Siluca are all seen in attendance. A friend of Lord Villar, Count Klute Gallas greets him and they start talking about his recent achievements against his cousin. After Lord Klute makes an audacious proclamation against Marrine, they're approached by Marquis Dawson. Lord Dawson confronts Villar on the matters that he tried to consult him on before, but Lord Villar merely brushes them off. Soon Margreave Alexis Deux arrives and approaches Lord Villar. The two greet one another and Lord Alexis is acquainted with Siluca who he thanks for saving his life at his wedding. Then he turns his attention to Theo who he admires and wishes to have a one-on-one chat with at a later time. As the party progresses, Lord Villar introduces the two to Lord Phederico. This meeting leads to a brief altercation concerning Theo's surname is had between Theo and Phederico.

Late that night after the party, Lord Alexis true to his word visits Theo in his residence for a meeting with him and Siluca. They discuss matters about Theo's achievements, the wedding that was canceled between Marriane and Alexis, and about the matters of the war of unification. When the meeting is over, the two see Alexis off and are attacked by Omerta assassins sent by Phederico. Once the matters with the assassins are settled and Alexis is finally seen off.
