All the scheming finally comes to a head, and Navier finally agrees to marry Heinrey. She is straightforward with him that this is a marriage of convenience, but he doesn’t care about her reasoning. At last, the moment from volume one is upon us, and Navier strides into the hearing in front of Sovieshu and Rashta with her head held high. Before Sovieshu has a chance to ask his wife for a divorce, as he plans to do, Navier asks him for one, and for the permission to immediately remarry. Sovieshu is beside himself, and immediately seeks the guidance of the clergy, but no one can find any reason to stop Navier from remarrying.

Sovieshu comes up with the ultimate plan to have everything he ever wanted, but it involves divorcing the empress, elevating Rashta to be his empress for long enough for their child to be a legitimate heir, then to divorce her and have Navier back as his empress. But rather than let anyone else in on his plans, he sets a few things in motion and is overheard by Navier who doesn’t fully know how to handle the idea of her husband wanting to divorce her. She instead leaves the capital for a few days to check in on a mage student she’s been sponsoring who has reportedly been losing her magic, and while there, she runs in to King Heinrey who has escaped his kingdom for a short getaway. Heinrey yet again begs Navier to become his queen. In the meanwhile, Navier’s brother, Kosair, is banished for what the emperor supposes is conspiring against Rashta.
The procession of Silver Eve is here, and it’s time for Coco and Agott to show off the spells they’ve made and hope that people find them useful. They’ll present their spells while floating on stages above the crowd, while everyone else watches from below and waves tiny flags to show their support for how useful they believe the spell will be. Olly goes first, and his spell is an ingenious trapping of fire into what looks like a crystal, giving a versatile lamp for folks, or a beautiful stone for jewelry for others. Coco goes next, and her contraption doesn’t resonate as well with the audience at first. After a pep talk from Agott and a little intervention, Coco’s spell is a little more successful, but the procession is ultimately interrupted by nefarious doings on the other side of the castle.
Our adventuring party continues deeper into the watery depths of Level Four. Marcille recalls a a story from her school days where she learned about building dungeons and befriended an odd but gifted magic user name Falin. Another group of adventurers catches up to the party, and they are aided by a fighter named Namari who used to be part of their group. They partially blame her for Falin’s predicament, but Chilchuck reminds them an adventurer’s ultimate loyalty is to coin, rather than friends. They all have a scary run-in with some tentacles that actually yields some delicious results even though some walk away with swollen body parts. In the end, our adventurers fight through some giant frogs to find themselves at last at the base of the Orc village they’ve been seeking.
