## Plot

During a fight in the sea, young Yukimaru takes Fena to an escape boat. Her father tells her to go to Eden. Yukimaru releases her boat, letting her float in the sea and promises to find her. Ten years pass and Fena is singing on her balcony in Shangri-La.

In a bar, the men are talking about a beautiful girl with pale skin and silver hair, and wonder who when the bid for her *jus primae noctis* (lords right of the first night). Hearing the talks, Otto gets frustrated and decides to leave the bar with Salman.

Inside her room, Angie helps Fena brush her hair, commenting that soon men will come flocking to see her, however, Fena doesn't care. Angie figures Fena still have feelings about her "knights" Yookie or Yookoo, but getting his name wrong makes Fena angry. Fena reveals she has no intention of doing what's planned and excitingly shows her escape plan to Angie. However, after explaining all her plans, Fena states that all depend on money she doesn't have and even if she escape to the continent, she won't be able to support herself. Yet, she figured it out and will just steal the money of some rich guy. Angie then realizes she puts herself in the auction to find rich guys she can rob. Fena then shows the Witch's Whammy she got from Elza the pharmacist, an aphrodisiac that mixed with wine turns into sleeping potion. As she knocks the guy with it, she will take all the money he used to buy her, and will then use curtains to create a rope and escape the tower. As there is a chance for the sleeping potion to not work and she to not be able to find a boat, Angie finds her plan being bad. Fena confirms there is an element of failure, but she won't be stopped. Angie tells her she won't even try as she will run in a hiccup again like usual. Recalling how she found herself on the island, Fena tells Angie that today is the tenth year since she came to the island.

As the time comes, Fena is taken to Maxiver Jr by her Manager. She is told he is a bit odd, but she must play along and give herself to him. If he ends up liking her, he will be spending a lot of money for her, and she will get one-tenth of his spending. As they head up the tower where *primae noctis* usually happens, Fena wonders why are they going above the second floor. The Manager tells her they won't be using the usual room as Maxiver had has been granted to use the top floor for tonight. Fena realizes that her plan already is in danger as she anticipated to climb down the second floor and not the top floor. She falls on her knees, realizing she won't be able to escape and starts acting her stomach hurts. She wants to call it off and return to her room, but the Manager then threatens her, however, he notices Salman who gives a signal to Otto, who then comes swinging from the window and knocking down the stairs the bodyguard. Salman knocks out the Manager and tells Fena they are there to rescue her. Looking at them, Fena realizes its much older Salman and Otto. Fena agrees to escape, but her manager then grabs her leg, telling her she ain't going anywhere and is just a harlot. Angry, Fena then kicks him, making him release her. The manager then goes to Maxiver Jr. and informs him that Fena had escaped. Learning that his bride-to-be escaped, Maxiver gets angry and beats the manager and orders him to go and find her.

While running, Otto tells Fena they have a ship on the eastern shore. Hearing that Fena tells him that east is the other way, causing Otto to realize his mistake. As they now change direction, they see the city is full of soldiers. As some approach them, Otto takes out a knife and tells them that he will take them on, while Fena and Salman escape. As he comes out charging to fight them, he sees the soldiers are already knocked out, causing Fena and Salman to think he took care of them. On top of the building, Karin comments that Fena and the rest are again going in a wrong direction. Shitan realizes that because of the night, the old men can't see well and read the map. However, as they are heading towards the twins, he decides to leave it to them.

As they run, Fena tells Salman that they are running in a wrong direction, causing him to realize his mistake too. Fena then takes the map and draws out their route. Some soldiers sees them and Salman takes a wood, deciding to stay and fight them, while Fena and Otto escape.

The manager questions Angie, but she doesn't know where Fena is and explains she never mentioned outside help. Annoyed, Maxiver tries attacking Angie with a bottle, to make her talk, but a high ranking officer stops him, stating he won't tolerate ill treatment of women and asks Cody to Angie out and offer her some tea.

Fena and Otto reach the eastern forest. Fena wonders if Salman is okay, and Otto assures her he is as he used to be know as Salman the Onslaught, a spearman with no equal. He may be old now, but he still would be able to handle two soldiers. Meanwhile, Salman is beaten and tied up by the soldiers, who question him where Fena is. Salman states he doesn't know and acts like he has no teeth, causing the soldiers to threaten him that he will loose them for real. Kaede and Enju watch from above, wondering if they should help out, but finding it funny, decide to wait if the soldiers will take his teeth out.

Fena wonders how Otto found her, but Otto had started to fall behind, breathing heavily and didn't hear her. She wonders if he needs a break, but he denies and wishes to continue. Some men then find them and knock out Otto. They decide to have some fun with Fena, before they kill her. Fena starts praying that Yukimaru saves her. In that moment, in a blink of an eye, the men start falling one by one. As the last man falls, Fena opens her eyes sand sees a man standing in front of her. Seeing his eyes, she tells him she knows him and that he is different than the other men, and that he saved her just like before. As she is sure this is Yukimaru, he hits her with a stick and knocks her out, commenting she is yappy as ever and annoying.
