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.

Penelope is determined to meet the last two love interests in the game to see if either of them can be her actual way out, rather than relying on the two brothers who seem to hate her, or the crazy prince. She must sneak out to rescue Eckles from a slave auction, but she manages to run into both her brothers on the way out. Both accompany her to the festival, but a strange blur of commotion at the festival separates them all, which is advantageous for Penelope, who uses it to attend the slave auction and bid on Eckles, but this plan turns out to not be as fool proof as she thought - Eckles is actually extremely dangerous and a bit unhinged, not quite the docile young knight she remembers from the game.
