Letitia and Erden have been separated for seven years while Erden was on an epic quest to find The Book of Secrets for her, leaving Letitia to become the Second Master of Halstead Castle. As time runs out on their protective relic that has kept Halstead Castle safe for seven years, an army of demons prepares to descend on the castle. Letitia must use all of her book learning she has gained these years to outsmart them and hold out for Erden’s triumphant return. Once they are reunited, they must now learn how to behave as a married couple even as Erden wants to set Letitia free from his horrid appearance and the curse of being his wife. Letitia, for her part, continues to try to prove her worthy to the Halstead house and convince Erden to stay married to her.

The next consort outing is a casual garden tea party. Felia dresses for the mood and the other consorts in their fancy ball gowns make fun of her until the king arrives and he’s similarly dressed casually. Felia brings the same distinct tea leaves she served the king during their first meeting, so he easily discerns her brew in order to reward her with some private time together. After the tea party, jealous consorts retaliate by attacking Felia's residence, but Felia gets help from another consort who has chosen to become Felia's ally. King Macron steals away at any opportunity he gets so that he doesn’t have to wait until the next 31st in a month comes around to see Felia again.

In the kingdom of Elpasa, a princess named Beatrice is taken captive as the neighboring Empire invades. She is sold to a noble family as a slave, something Beatrice knows all to well from her early life. The invading force, led by the intimidating Duke Alessandro, as well as several knights, intimidate Beatrice and are all people she hopes to never see again once she fades into the background in her new life. Beatrice knows how to lay low; as soon as they cross the border into the Empire, she melts into old slave persona. She cuts off her gorgeous flowing locks, ditches her long, billowy skirts, and becomes the unassuming Chloe, ever amenable and focused solely on tidying and serving.

Letitia’s first life ended in an apartment fire, but her second life isn’t starting off so great. Her parents die when she is very young, and she is sent to live with her aunt and uncle. It turns out, her uncle has a pact with a noble northern family of demon hunters, and he must send someone of his blood to marry their son. At twelve, Letitia is chosen to join House Halstead, but the rumors are horrible! They might sacrifice her and eat her or burn alive her for being a witch. Letitia’s trip to the northern lands isn’t without incident, including finding items from Earth that have seeped into this world. When Letitia finally meets her husband-to-be, she discovers that he's supposedly cursed with a hideous complexion and wears a mask at all times. But, he's otherwise extremely cordial.

The fallout of the soirée means Victoria is on the radar of the Royal family of Ashbury, and that’s not exactly where a spy in hiding wants to be. She starts some light fighting training with Nonna, mostly self-defense and the art of running away spiritedly. Later, she starts a new job tutoring Captain Jeffrey’s nephew, who has gone through many tutors and has gotten the reputation of being a difficult child. Victoria teaches both Nonna and her new charge and her teaching methods integrate the power of play as much as possible despite this coming across to observers as unconventional teaching methods.
