Alan has finished gathering supplies, while Noelle expresses her desire to explore more forges. Lise regrets not properly thanking Henriette for her help. Alan assures her that they can thank Henriette next time. Suddenly, Curtis arrives and asks for help to rescue his sister.

Curtis explains that his sister Henriette has been captured by the Knights of the Black Wolves, accused of allegedly assassinating the Emperor. Lise and Noelle can hardly believe it, as they know Henriette’s character. Curtis reveals that Henriette’s brilliance has earned her many enemies among the nobility, leading to false accusations against her. Alan asks for time to consider Curtis’ request.

Alan confides in Lise and Noelle that Henriette has indeed been captured and is being transported to the imperial capital. They decide to help Curtis, despite their doubts about his identity. Curtis confesses that he is actually Henriette’s cousin and was kept away from her by his parents. He has been watching the two from afar and knows they are Henriette’s friends.

As they set out to rescue Henriette, they encounter obstacles. Meanwhile, Henriette is being transported under guard and discusses her situation with Lizette, a guard who follows strict protocol. Lizette mentions that another man involved in an incident in the Elven Forest was pardoned because Henriette was captured.

In the city, the group discovers that the imperial capital is under lockdown. Curtis apologizes for the delay, but they had to gather new supplies. They decide to gather information at the Adventurers’ Guild. Curtis stays behind with Noelle and Mylène, who would stand out due to their rare race.

Alan and Lise go to the guild and learn that the Knights of the Black Wolves are searching for a group of six people who left Laurus. Realizing it’s them, they quickly return to the others. The Knights of the Black Wolves arrive at the guild and post a reward for information about the group. Though some adventurers give vague hints, Alan and Lise manage to remain undetected.

Suddenly, an explosion is heard from the direction of the inn. Alan and Lise rush back, fearing for their friends’ safety. They encounter Oswald, who seeks revenge for a previous encounter in the Elven Forest.
