Bardalos and Lanak gaze upon a burning city and recall the dark age. Lanak, the king of Cuscull, declares that the Four Great Nations will be the first to fall in the new era. Tinasha recognizes the destruction and expresses her resolve by casting a curse that uses her blood as a catalyst. Oscar awakens and confronts Tinasha, who explains to him that she broke the curse while he slept. Despite her gratitude, Tinasha refuses to attend King Kevin’s birthday celebration, but Oscar insists.

Lazar informs Oscar that Prince Reust of Tayiri cannot attend the celebration due to an attack by Cuscull and that Princess Cecilia will come in his stead. Tinasha asks Oscar if he likes her dragon Nark and transfers its ownership to him. At the celebration, Tinasha and Oscar encounter Cecilia, who dismisses Cuscull’s attack as insignificant. Kevin thanks Tinasha for lifting Oscar’s curse and proposes to her, which she declines.

Tinasha encounters Lanak, whom she believed to be dead. He reveals to her that he founded Cuscull for her and destroyed the surrounding cities. Lanak wants to make Tinasha his queen, but Tinasha downplays Oscar’s threat. Their conversation reveals deep bonds and Tinasha’s complex past. She tells Oscar that their contract ends tonight and takes Lanak’s side.

Oscar decides to confront Lucrezia, who confirms Tinasha’s departure for Cuscull. She recounts Tinasha’s tragic past as the powerful future queen of Tuldarr and her complicated relationship with Lanak. Oscar vows to bring Tinasha back, even if it means killing Lanak.

Kevin receives a letter from Cuscull demanding the surrender of the Four Great Nations. Reports indicate devastating losses for the army and the cities of Tayiri, and Tinasha is suspected of involvement. Kevin questions Oscar’s loyalty, but Oscar insists on learning the truth and refuses to kill Tinasha. Kevin accepts Oscar’s terms and names him the next king. Oscar accepts the responsibility and is determined to protect his kingdom and resolve the conflict with Tinasha.
