The eleven-year-old Ars Louvent learns from a doctor that his father's condition has worsened significantly, prompting Ars to ask for more time to repay his father's kindness. Meanwhile, the guards of Arcantez Castle respond to an emergency involving the assassination of the governor, which could lead to war.

Raven discusses the impending conflict with his advisors and notes that the murder will force the district's leaders to choose between the older brother Couran and the younger Vasmarque. It is expected that Lord Lumeire from the Canarre district will support Couran, leading Raven to prepare his troops.

Ars receives a letter from Lord Lumeire summoning them to Canarre Castle. Despite Raven's illness, Ars decides to go himself. Accompanied by Charlotte and Rietz, Ars meets various leaders, including Menas Renard, who serves Lord Lumeire. Menas recognizes the reputation of Ars' companions and invites them to join his service, but they decline out of loyalty to House Louvent.

At the meeting, Lord Lumeire confirms his support for Couran and orders everyone to prepare for war. Afterwards, Ars has a tense encounter with Hammond Pleide, Licia's father, who is concerned that his daughter might face trouble due to Ars' delayed correspondence. Ars apologizes and promises to write to Licia immediately.

Raven praises Ars for attending the meeting and acknowledges his growth. Later, Ars writes a heartfelt letter to Licia, apologizing for his delay and expressing his hope that their houses will work together.

As war preparations continue, Rosell delivers news of an impending invasion by Seitz targeting Krall's estate, Coumeire. Since Raven is unfit for battle, Ars decides to lead the troops himself. However, Raven stops him, believing Ars is not yet ready for combat. Raven explains that it is crucial for a leader to witness death without losing composure.

Raven orders the execution of the criminal Barramorda to test Ars' resolve. Ars struggles with the gruesome sight, revealing his inexperience and youth. Raven then leads the troops into battle, leaving Ars to reflect on his readiness and determination to protect his realm and loved ones.

The episode ends with a hint of Ars' upcoming birthday and the title of the next episode, "Succession."
