The young woman speaks with the man whose sword returns to him on its own and who can briefly stop movement. The reason he wants to make her queen is his admiration for her helping the Lycans, who have been persecuted in the city of Lapi for a year. The two reach an agreement: he will protect her, and she will become the sword of revenge. Then, while the council of nobles debates the vacant throne, the woman surprises everyone by saying that Duke Kiel deserves the crown.
